I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

@QasimRashid @regphunt
But is the War on Terror over?

Are you saying this app and service are some kind of ambulance chasing?

@izzaboo @QasimRashid When we're at a point that PoC feel the need to call in reinforcements when interacting with law enforcement, it should be obvious to all of us that they are victims of police terrorism.
Capitalizing on that need is gross.

@regphunt @QasimRashid

This service should be offered by every stateā€™s public defenderā€™s office, imo.

And, in the meantime, somebody needs to act to reduce the violent interactions caused by ā€œthe bad applesā€ in law enforcement.

@izzaboo @QasimRashid Offered by the state or nonprofit like the ACLU.
But no it's not bad apples, it's the law enforcement system.

And there continues to be two sets of rules. One for those with a lawyer and one for those without.

@izzaboo @QasimRashid To varying degrees, depending.
