Officials from the American Civil Liberties Union said they have a new way to protect protesters in Mississippi.Click here to watch the report.The ACLU of Mississippi launched a cellphone app this month that uses camera technology to help keep more eyes on police officers, officials said.“It’s called Mobile Justice Mississippi,” said Jennifer Riley-Collins of the ACLU. “The app allows you to record, to witness and to report.”The app can send video straight to the ACLU in seconds.“Citizens have a right to record, and so that app allows you to do that,” Riley-Collins said.The ACLU of Mississippi helped design the program to help document police activity after reports of police violence during protests in Missouri.“We want police departments to not only be safe, but we also want them to be accountable for their actions, and this, again, allows a third eye,” Riley-Collins said.Missouri ACLU officials said their app has been downloaded more than 900 times. The Mississippi app was launched earlier this month and it has been downloaded almost 100 times.Some people said they were not sure how it will help.“I do question why some of these organizations do what they do,” Pearl Mayor Brad Rodgers said.Rodgers said his officers already record scene. Rodgers said the ACLU could just be complicating police work.“That’s why we do everything we can to have body mics, body cameras, video cameras rolling in the cars, the whole nine yard, you know, because it’s so easy to try and blame something on the police,” Rodgers said.Jackson Police Chief Lee Vance said he’s looking into cameras for his officers.“It’s like the old saying, you know, a picture is worth a thousand words,” Vance said.“I’ve always said we want the police there when we want the police there, and we don’t want the police there when we don’t want them there,” Rodgers said.ACLU officials said the app is not just for recording police officers, it’s about knowing your rights. The app advises people about what their rights are, Riley-Collins said.The app is only available on Android phones. The iPhone version is scheduled to come out in January.
