Knowing Rights Can Save Lives with Mbye Njie

This week Danielle talks with Legal Equalizer CEO, Mbye Njie. In the wake of the increased national awareness around police brutality, Mbye has developed an app that has video recording capabilities and makes your rights available to you via your cell phone or tablet. It also allows for a quick message to be sent to loved ones to make them aware of your location if you are pulled over by law enforcement. This app could revolutionize the law enforcement/citizen dynamic leading to increased awareness and fairness.
