I am re-asking because there isn't a lot of information. I'm aware of the ACLU's Mobile Justice app (https://www.aclu.org/issues/criminal-law-reform/reforming-police/aclu-apps-record-police-conduct). What else is out there?

I'm specifically interested in whether or not tools exist to help hold police accountable. I'm interested in developing something similar to the Mobile Justice app. Similar to the idea of sousveillance, I think there is an opportunity to catalog instances of injustice in order to hold individuals accountable. I am imagining an app that has a real-time, location-aware feed of media references to such instances to corroborate and publicize, potentially supported by facial recognition of offenders to gather evidence of repeat abuse.
