This does sound problematic, but if a police officer's report contradicts the body-worn camera or other evidence, it already undermines their credibility, whether they blame AI or not. My impression is that police don't usually face repercussions for inaccuracies or outright lying in court.

> That means that if an officer is caught lying on the stand – as shown by a contradiction between their courtroom testimony and their earlier police report

The bigger issue, that the article doesn't cover, is that police officers may not carefully review the AI generated report, and then when appearing in court months or years later, will testify to whatever is in the report, accurate or not. So the issue is that the officer doesn't contradict inaccuracies in the report.

That's because it's a very difficult thing to prove. Bad memories and even completely false memories are real things.

I dont live in a police state.

You either don't have police reports or some amount of your country's police reports aee written by AI.

I'd be more worried that you aren't reading articles about it than if you were.

Not everyone lives in a 3rd world authoritarian backwater, its time to stop that ridiculous US-centrism
