TurnSignl app for 'Driving While Black' (black, red, yellow, white . . .) syndrome. (Page 1/2)

I just saw this on TV. I think it's a winner. Maybe not a "game changer" but a tally on the plus side of the societal scoreboard.

"TurnSignl App Aims To Help Everyone Get Home Safely After Traffic Stops"
WCCO CBS Minnesota; April 22, 2021. YouTube. Just over 2 minutes.

"New Startup TurnSignl Aims to Get Everyone Home Safe"
Laura Beier for "tech.mn"; January 18, 2021.
https://tech.mn/news/2021/0...-everyone-home-safe/

About a book page (maybe two) of text, and at the end, a TurnSignl explainer video.


Before co-founding TurnSignl, Jazz Hampton was the director of diversity and inclusion at the law firm where he practiced--practiced law? I hope so--for five years.

It's not a panacea--I think any of us can see that--but will it "pan out" and become a successful mobile phone app venture? And will it do more good than harm?

I'm cautiously "bullish" on TurnSignl. I guess it's still early going for it.

Here's the TurnSignl website: "Drive with an attorney by your side."

Because day to day life is so much better when lawyers are involved.

A cautionary note from the makers of "Old Spice" . . .

This is "rinselberg" approved video coverage of a brief interview earlier today, with MSNBC anchor Jonathan Capehart conversing with TurnSignl app cofounder Jazz Hampton.

The interview starts with a reprise of one of the very recent situations where Jazz Hampton predicts that the TurnSignl app would help protect both a driver of a vehicle that's been stopped and also, the police.

This is just over 4 minutes of video content.

From the MSNBC website:

Or get it more directly as a standalone MPEG4 video file that starts automatically.

What make minorities so inferior that they need a turn signal app ? Will it not work for speeding tickets, running a stop sign, robbing a convenience store, shooting a homie ?

The lawyers advice:

don't be high and try to show an officer your gun.
Don't flee to retrieve a knife from your car. Don't OD on Fentanyl during an arrest.
Don't attempt to assault an officer during a stop.
Don't shoot and kill an officer during a stop.

This video has been posted here on PFF several times before and it really shouldn't need to be posted again, but due to dumb thread topics like this and, well....Leftists,... it has to be posted yet again.

Protect the Police, ?

Ok, we will identify with your lack of logic. Protect the Police ?

Jazz Hampton, one of the co-founders of Turn Signl, emphasizes that the development of the Turn Signl app was informed, in part, by interviews with police officers and getting their ideas and feedback about how the Turn Signl mobile phone application ("app") should be designed.

Jazz Hampton has a brother who works in law enforcement. A brother that he likes, not a brother that he wouldn't mind being rid of. Or so it could be inferred from the online material that I have posted (the "links") about the Turn Signl app.

You seem all too eager--as the adage goes--to "throw away the app with the crap."

That's racist. I'm offended.
