StreetWitness is for documenting interactions with police and other law enforcement officers in public spaces.

It helps preserve evidence when memory is unreliable and power is unequal.

StreetWitness is not for reporting neighbours, monitoring communities, sharing private disputes, or harassment.

Misuse undermines trust and will be removed.

Your safety matters.

• Do not interfere with officers
• Do not escalate situations

Recording is legal in many public settings, but laws vary. Know your rights.
