Ask An Intern: Why Do You Use TurnSignl?
This month, TurnSignl asked a few of our summer interns to share their experiences with us as passionate members of our community. Each of them has a unique perspective on the future for social justice, and what they need to feel safe and empowered.
How Does Tele-Legal Work?
In recent years, technology has evolved rapidly to create new solutions to connect us with friends and colleagues around the globe. For users, some of these platforms can provide access to legal guidance and a calming presence from attorneys in the moments that matter most.

The social reckoning that sparked a national conversation around police brutality and racial justice last year became part of the origin story for many companies and their initiatives.
What is Probable Cause?
In order to arrest an individual or conduct a search, law enforcement officers must first establish probable cause or have a warrant. However, a judge will make the final decision for what does and does not constitute probable cause, not law enforcement.
Are You Allowed to Record Police?
Advancements in technology have made it easier than ever to record interactions between law enforcement and citizens. If you ever witness a heated encounter with a police officer, or if you’re the one interacting with law enforcement, you might wonder whether it’s legal to record the situation.
Your Rights When Stopped by Police
The United States Constitution outlines certain rights that you have. It’s important to be aware of and assert these rights if you are stopped by police. Using the TurnSignl app can connect you with a vetted attorney in your state who can help you through this process, but you don’t need our app to know your rights.
