January 31, 2023

On Wednesday, the family and loved ones of Tyre Nichols are expected to say their final goodbyes. Nichols died three days after Memphis police officers pulled him over during a traffic stop.

The body camera footage of his police encounter has some looking for solutions or ways to record their own experiences with police. Many have discovered a phone app that does that -- and more. Channel 9′s Tina Terry learned the creators of TurnSignl are now offering it for free to people in the Carolinas.

TurnSignl was created after several high-profile police cases. Its creators say it could help protect everyone during a traffic stop, so Terry took it to local experts to ask for their thoughts.
