Body camera video equivalent to 25 million copies of “Barbie” is collected but rarely reviewed.

I get this is done to hook the reader, but I feel annoyed how these comparisons don't actually make it easier to visualize the scale

For around $50,000 a year, Truleo’s software allows supervisors to select from a set of specific behaviors to flag, such as when officers interrupt civilians, use profanity, use force or mute their cameras. The flags are based on data Truleo has collected on which officer behaviors result in violent escalation. Among the conclusions from Truleo’s research: Officers need to explain what they are doing.

I guess that sounds like a good thing? Flagging the videos instead of waiting for complaints

Yea, it sounds like a decent application of AI for law enforcement, miles and miles better than the Facial rec stuff they're always trying to push

As long as it actually works as advertised lol
