It is a fork of our Free and Open Source program, OpenWatch.&lt;p&gt;The really interesting part is that we get thousands of the recordings send back to us. The app has been out for more than a year and we have collected thousands of recordings.&lt;p&gt;We need people to help process all of the data. If you have any experience with audio processing, trans-coding audio, or data visualization, please get in touch! - rich@gun.io&lt;p&gt;(Source: &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Miserlou/OpenWatch---Android/network&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://github.com/Miserlou/OpenWatch---Android/network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;iPhone Version: &lt;a href=&quot;http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cop-recorder/id433040863?mt=8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cop-recorder/id433040863?mt=8&lt;/a&gt; )</text></comment>

Instant dismissal if such recording is purposely incomplete, tampered with or &quot;lost&quot;.&lt;p&gt;ps. that ACLU video is just not good on so many levels - they should replace it with something to reflect how serious this is</text></comment>
