With or without your permission, apparently.
A few things could be great about this app & then there are a few serious concerns as far as cops & surveillance goes anymore.
Have to learn a bit more first.
The quick marketing of a product without protections for the purchaser may need some fine tuning.
We'll see.

..the use of the app requires you to connect to YouTube.
Maybe I am misreading what the commenter was saying but..maybe check to clarify.

The cases where realize they've been filmed doing something wrong are the ones where they are most likely to attempt to destroy the evidence.
If it's been automatically uploaded, even if they smash your phone, the video will still exist.

Just be careful not to forget and use it to film your private moments.

And good thing to remember as to your comment about those private moments ending up for the world to view.

The automatic upload is the best part. But presumably, using a cop watch app is contraindicated when shooting dick pics.

takes too long to send to youtube before cops get a chance to seize phone or delete vids...an automatic upload would be great.
