Three short films about the seconds that change everything — and one about the seconds that don’t. This is what those minutes look like when you are not facing them alone.

Traffic stop
A traffic stop is where an ordinary night turns. It doesn’t have to. With ByStander, Jason isn’t alone on the shoulder — his friends, his family, and a trained advocate are there with him from the first flash of blue.

Hit & run
Sarah never got the chance to call 911. Nobody plans for that moment — which is exactly why ByStander is built for it. Your location, your live video, and a real human on your side, already in motion.

Campus walk
Aanya turns on Scout for the walk to her car and nothing goes wrong — footsteps behind her turn out to be another student. That is the point. Scout is built for ordinary nights, and using it on those is what makes it ready on the one that isn’t.
