'Siri, I'm getting pulled over': A shortcut for iPhones, called "Police," can automatically record the police.

When you tell Siri the police are signalling you to stop, the phone sends a quick text to a predetermined contact to tell them you've been pulled over, and starts recording with the iPhone's front-facing camera.

Once you've stopped recording, it can text or email the video to a different predetermined contact and save it to Dropbox.

Robert Petersen of Arizona developed Police to monitor police interactions to give you a record of what happened.

"It seemed to me that if you're getting pulled over it couldn't hurt to have a recording of the incident," Petersen said in a direct message on Tuesday.
"The police these days in many places have body cams, so this could be the civilian equivalent."

It's the third-most-popular shortcut of all time on the burgeoning subreddit dedicated to sharing shortcut recipes, and it's been widely covered in the Apple-enthusiast press. It's on version 1.4.
