This iOS 12 Shortcut Turns On Your Camera During a Police Stop

If there’s ever a time that you get stopped by police and want to film the encounter, there’s a feature on iPhone that would allow your iPhone camera to automatically start. 

NEW YORK – OCTOBER 14: An Apple customer displays his newly purchased iPhone 4s outside of the Apple Store on Broadway and 67th Street on October 14, 2011 in New York City. The new phone, which went on sale at 8 am local time in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Japan, Australia, France and Germany, features a faster dual-core A5 chip, an 8MP camera that shoots 1080p HD video, and a voice assistant program.

If there's ever a time that you get stopped by police and want to film the encounter, there's a feature on iPhone that would allow your iPhone camera to automatically start. 

The new iOS 12 feature Siri Shortcuts allows iPhone users to map things on their phones like workouts, phone calls, navigation, and more.  A man from Arizona named Robert Petersen made a shortcut that activates his phone's camera with a simple command.

He just has to say, "Hey Siri, I've been pulled over." Then the phone takes care of the rest.  Petersen suggests that you keep your phone in a dash mount, and once you stop recording the shortcut will send the recording to a person that you choose.
