Whether it passes or not, civilians need to start using the infrared on their phone cameras to see through face coverings and profile law enforcement identities during execution of illegal orders anyway.

I cannot believe there is not a widely used FOSS app for this when the hardware is in your pocket already and the research is prevalent for how to do this.

With low end smartphones: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-71629-7_50

We just apply these two areas of research above in a mobile app. I'd start with Android so it can go onto jailbroken 3rd party operating systems without the fear of getting banned by Apple. Then move on the iPhone after that.
