iPhone shortcut will record your interactions with the police

As protests continue both in the United States and the United Kingdom over police brutality and the death of George Floyd, an iPhone shortcut that allows users to quickly record interactions with law enforcement is becoming more popular. The tool, which was created in 2018, uses Apple's Shortcuts app. This allows users to trigger a series of actions based on a single word, similar to Routines with Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Saying "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over" will automatically activate the program, which pauses any music that could be playing, turns down the brightness on the phone screen, and puts the device on Do Not Disturb. It can also send a contact a text message, letting them know that you have been pulled over by the police as well as sending your exact location.
