Three Georgia teenagers created “Five-O,” an app released this summer that lets people rate their interactions with law enforcement. Similar apps also are aimed at helping people navigate interactions with police. The app is coming to market as protesters around the country keep attention on instances of deadly encounters with police in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City. There’s also a recording function to document the interaction with an officer. With the phone hopefully in a hands-free device, the app allows drivers to send an alert to friends and family that they have been pulled over. Despite its attention-grabbing name, Oden-Orr said the app due for release in late December will provide common sense advice to motorists of all races and outline what civil rights you have during a stop.
