‘Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over’
-
Once you load this (free) shortcut onto your iPhone, all you need to do is say “Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over” and it will kickstart a chain of events. It will dim your phone, pause any music being played, and start recording video from your front-facing camera. It can also send your current location and a copy of that video to an emergency contact, though you’ll need to confirm a few pop-up messages to complete these steps.
The shortcut itself is the work of Robert Petersen, who first published it in 2018. Petersen has been updating the program since then, though, and the shortcut has gained new attention following protests after the police killing of George Floyd.

THat's cool.

I just told Mrs Phibes about this, and my phone piped up with 'I don't get it'.

I asked Siri this morning if she planned on taking over the world (as per the Babylon Bee prognostication). Her response was the same.
Yeah. Of course you don't. Go ahead and play your games.
