If the police unions don’t like it, then it’s certainly going to be a positive step towards public safety.
dont hey always tell us
'you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide'
uh huh... hows that feel now, government employee?
Yep.
Ya 'all like surveillance so much, let's put all government employees under a camera all the time. Of all the places I find cameras offensive, that one not so much.

Happy or unhappy I feel like body cam footage is too important a form of evidence to have reviewed by AI
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.

Is this the kind of thing anyone could be happy about?
Cops reviewing themselves, we know how that works out.
- Cops being reviewed by shitty AI.

- wtf
Then again, when the police union doesn't like something, makes me wonder what it's exposing about them...
Absolutely, anything the police union is against is by default a good thing for actual humans.
Maybe if it's just being used to flag potential areas of interest for review by a human? I'm open to the idea as long as there's definite accountability and care.
Which, returning to the real world, we know is a fat chance.
