Sweet jeebers, no. Hire humans to watch the videos — preferably people who’ve been beaten up by LAPD cops. It would end unemployment in California. That’s more than enough to watch every video 'round the clock.
I was about to say the footage doesn’t need to be watched unless there’s a complaint, but
The department began reviewing the unit’s body camera footage and other information, and it found discrepancies with what officers wrote in their reports. The FBI is investigating, and the department has moved to fire at least two of the involved officers, who are also facing criminal charges.
So I guess I was wrong. The footage shouldn’t just be reviewed for malfeasance, it should be reviewed to check the veracity of their notes and reports. FFS.
I feel like the complaint aspect would work perfectly anyway, if something was done wrong a complaint is filed and footage is reviewed. Otherwise just continue as usual. Seems excessive to review footage where no party filed a complaint
Many people are scared of the police or don’t know how to lodge complaints.
It may be excessive for us, but they’re public employees who hold an extreme amount of power. I think a little bit more precaution in keeping them in order is fair given the role.
Agreed. Normally, that is. But in this case there were concerns that an entire department wasn’t behaving.
That’s actually an intriguing idea. The AI would have to be completely closed and cut off from the internet though.
Yeah it’s probably one of the few ‘better’ uses for AI, tagging videos for further human review. It’s not like the AI would be trained on this footage, so I can’t see any privacy concerns for people either.
Otherwise you’d need to hire one reviewer for each officer, so they could fit an 8 hour video of an officers shift into their 8 hour shift. Which obviously is impractical.
This could be a good supplemental tool for holding police accountable.
Why use slow and inefficient humans when AI can do their job significantly faster and cheaper?
To begin, no. To elaborate, please god no don’t do it, I’m begging you, please no. To conclude, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That’s a no from me, dog.
No.
