Thanks for pointing this out. The original thinking was twofold: 1) I didn't want people to get in trouble if their phones were searched and they were in possession of a recording and 2) Keep the data stored on the phone to a minimum, in order to increase available space for storing video when Cellular Data/WiFi is not available. The data is always available later through the shortlink.

You raise a very good point though. Offering an option to keep data locally (or save it in the camera roll) in a future version would make sense

Might be worth clarifying that the project is separate from the work of the well known human rights and video NGO called "Witness" (www.witness.org). They make a number of video tools so a user might be confused.

At the border US customs ask you whether you have "accounts on remote computers", which means, practically everything. It's better to move the data offsite so police actually needs a warrant to inspect it (instead of a "I thought he had a gun" excuse), but it can still require them to provide access to the remote account to the police.

Interesting. Have you been asked that before? I've done a fair amount of going in and out of the country and was never asked
