This could be really important.

• People think they know their rights. I agree.
• Say less - Be polite - Lawyer up. I couldn't have said it better.
• The App independently documents the incident. Good deal. I agree. More info the better. Right?
• The Sheriff called the App cute if nothing else. I felt like his sense of law & order was threatened.
• The Sheriff was concerned an officer may think the individual was going for a weapon. I agree. When you're confronted by an officer do not make any furtive moves. Do not sneak your hands into a pocket. You have to be on the up and up. We have changed from community based policing methods to a more militarized mode.
