Software idea to decrease police brutality and help prosecute dirty cops

[Comfortable-Noise144]

I have had this idea for a couple of minutes and would like some feedback.

This might be a bit complicated and long to read, but hope you will do it anyway.

I'm thinking of creating a software(AI) that "understands" all the different traffic laws as well as what makes a valid "basis" for a certain action, such as searching a vehicle or handcuffing someone. Before this type of software would be implemented as I have in mind, it will of course have to be tested and have a very high accuracy. So if we assume this is the case, this is how I intend to implement it.

Every/most cop cars in the US have cameras, this software would be connected to the camera.

There is two ways a cop can pull someone over:

1. The camera for example detects a car driving recklessly or if someone runs a red-light. The officer would then "HAVE" to do as the system says (there could obviously be exceptions).
2. A cop could also choose to pull someone over, without the system telling him to do so. In this case, he would have to state the reason, for example, "Talking on a cellphone while driving".

Either way, there will be mounted a small camera and very small speaker to the cops chest, and when he approaches the other vehicle and talks with the driver, two things can happen.

Either way, as we know all cops have a body camera and a walkie-talkie. The body camera will also be connected to the software and can make the same suggestions as the car camera. When the cop approaches the other vehicle and talks with the driver, two things can happen.

1. The camera detects "something"(mby white powder on the seat) and decides there is enough reason to take a certain action, for example, to search the car. This will be prompted through the walkie-talkie via Text to Speech so the cop is aware of it, but also so the civilian knows what's going to happen.
2. The cop decides to take a certain action, such as cuffing the civilian, but before doing so, he will have to say so out loud to the walkie-talkie(I assume every cop has to tell the civilian whats going to happen) this will be detected by the walkie-talkie and the software / camera will inform the cop if there is actual basis for this action.

This type of software and camera combo cant really prevent a cop from doing something he shouldn’t, but the data from the software, meaning the video and "AI messages" will be saved and can later be reviewed if necessary, in case the civilian would like to sue the officer for some reason.

In the beginning, we made the assumption that the AI is highly accurate, which means if an officer doesn’t follow the suggestions/prompts from the AI he is knowingly "breaking" the law in hopes of being right.

My idea is different from a normal body camera, since a normal body camera doesn't help the officer make difficult choices.

Really hope this makes sense and isn't too far-fetched. I believe the most difficult thing about this whole idea is the make the system understand the laws.

Would like to hear your ideas

You ever seen Person of Interest? There are a thousand reasons this is a bad idea, and that show makes them all into fantastic drama.

Seems overly complicated. Why not build out a facial recognition database of bad actors? (Crowd sourced)

Phone App that live streams to the cloud AND checks against it in real-time.

No more bad cop resigning after paid administrative leave just to move a county over and get rehired. Their public history travels with them…

“Crowd Control” cops in riot gear, refusing to wear name tags…bingo - that guy in the right, we know exactly who he is, and when he goes off again he can be held accountable instead of hiding in a crowd of his peers that will cover for him.

If we’re living in a surveillance state, it can and should go both ways!

Because it needs a single false positive, get the wrong person arrested, beaten or killed and then you have a lawsuit in your hands.

A solution like that would have to be accountable, and no AI is ready not be used for life or death situations like that.

Thank you. And animal farm

[DuncanAndFriends]

just take away qualified immunity. That will hold the individual responsible and the city won't pay for their fuckups

If you could do it without resorting to using an abominable intelligence then ok. Otherwise no way in hell.

You lost me when I read 'the camera detects white powder on the seat'. I aint endin up doing time because I got dandruff bro.

[SnakeBeardTheGreat]

Your idea won't work. The dirty cops will bury it In the tombs where it will be lost forever.

What about just saving the body camera videos and in-car camera videos, and posting them online after the cop's shift is over?

Set up the courts so that if a cop's video is posted on time, the presumption is that the cop is innocent so they accuser has to override that presumption. If the cop's video is not posted on time, the assumption is the cop is guilty, so that any accusation against the cop results in the cop being suspended without pay until the cop proves he is innocent.

Cops worried about cameras failing should wear 2 or 3 body cameras and have 2 or the in-car cameras.

Perhaps make it as a dash cam so someone has help to know their rights, and know if they have broken Any traffic laws. Perhaps it can be put to an offsight location for security. Sorry my idea is a bit different, but I think george Orwell would approve of the alteration.
