Body camera video equivalent to 25 million copies of “Barbie” is collected but rarely reviewed. Some cities are looking to new technology to examine this stockpile of footage to identify problematic officers and patterns of behavior.

    That’s troublesome right there, it should be an outside commission that gets to see and choose which officers are flagged.

          Yes, that’s what I meant. The 3rd party would have get to see all of the info and they get to decide which flags to look for. IMO, then the third party, the police union and a civilian commission gets to vote on whether the officer stays or not. The unions have way too much power.
