That hot new ACLU app is from 2015? I hope to need it less after Jan 20, silly fool that I am

andrewducker

I didn't realise. Hopefully you're right!

I remember hearing about it a long time ago.

The comment at the bottom of that Tumblr page mentions the app only being available for some states; the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACLU_Mobile_Justice) mentions 16 states. But the Google Play site currently only has one, which it seems is now for all states:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/31/us/aclu-mobile-justice-police-misconduct-app/index.html
(from May 2020) says "In the upcoming months, the app -- which is currently available in 17 states and the District of Columbia -- will be accessible to everyone in all 50 states while respecting each state's laws, Benigno said."

Very cool, if true
