Re: Citizen Police Data Project – Police allegation data made accessible
#2Came across this tool by the Invisible Institute as I was thinking about what ways technology could help with the ongoing issues with police brutality and accountability.
It looks like they partnered with USA today on a larger database as well. I'll be reaching out to the former to see if they have plans to develop an API. I imagine that would help this spread like wildfire and increase scrutiny.

#3We need an automated system that asks for feedback after every police encounter. If your name appears in a police report, you get a text. Responses could then be added to the database in an automated way. We already do this routinely for food deliveries, so surely the barrier is non-technical.
