Most police departments don't have the resources to sift through all their body-cam footage, meaning most of it remains unreviewed and unexamined. According to Axon, a company...
AI can’t be the last word in what gets marked for misconduct etc., however using it as a screening tool for potentially problematic moments in a law enforcement officer’s encounters would be useful. It’s an enormous task to screen through those hours upon hours of video and probably prohibitively expensive for humans to work through.
Need to be certain the false negative rate is near zero though, or important events could be missed, and with AI its nearly impossible to say that with certainty.
Happy or unhappy I feel like body cam footage is too important a form of evidence to have reviewed by AI

Important events are already being missed.
so we should just drop the good in pursuit of perfect?
ai is just an additional tool to be applied based on its efficacy. the better the tooling gets, the more we can trust its results. but no one…

Is this the kind of thing anyone could be happy about?
Cops reviewing themselves, we know how that works out.
Then again, when the police union doesn’t like something, makes me wonder what it’s exposing about them…
