App To Hold Police Instantly Accountable In Stop and Search (thestack.com)

An anonymous reader writes: A collective of London-based youth clubs and organizations has released an app called Y-Stop to help encourage those involved in unfair police encounters to instantly record and report their experiences. The idea is to 'encourage police accountability' by making it easier for anyone to have a say about what they think may be unjustified or illegal police action. The app allows its user to immediately send audio and video footage of harassment for secure holding with the charities themselves, or with the police directly. It also enables easier communication with lawyers for assistance and advice.

    Simple solution: Strap them into a movie theater seat with their eyes forced open and make them watch gory movies while giving them a drug that makes them nauseous. The worst thing that can happen is that maybe they'll develop an extreme aversion to Beethoven.
