Every weekday, you'll get fresh, community-driven stories that catch you up with our independent local news.The West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station is testing a new app that aims to make traffic stops safer for drivers and deputies.
If you download the “SafeStop” app on your phone, you’ll be able to video chat directly with the deputy who’s pulling you over. You will have to initiate the call first by pressing a button on the app. That will send a message to the deputy, and they will then be able to join the video call from their vehicle. The goal is to limit some of the danger of a traffic stop by introducing the driver and deputy from a distance.
“There is often tension because there is an unknown,” said Jackson Lallas, the co-founder of SafeStop. “The officer doesn’t know who they’ve pulled over, and the driver doesn’t know how it’s going to go.”
