N.J. ACLU unveils 'stealth' app allowing citizens to secretly record police
http://j.mp/NnAuwT (NJ)
"The app, which debuts only for Android devices but will be available
for iPhones later this month, is simple to use and can be downloaded
at aclu-nj.org/app. It opens to a screen with three buttons: video
recording, audio recording and a tutorial on knowing your rights. The
app's signature feature is its ability to operate in "stealth mode"
while recording. When you start video recording, the screen goes
black, as if it's off. When recording audio, the app automatically
minimizes and disappears."

Of course, it could also be used to (illegally, in many states)
record non-police.
