I work for a company that provides software and hardware for police agencies across America.

I have been trying to think of ways to help. Some thoughts:

1. Publicly track the FOIA status of video evidence at a given agency

2. Verify the authenticity of videos floating around on the internet

3. Create a way for citizens to verify the identities of officers in an area who use our technology

4. Put out a public portal on the capabilities of body cameras by agency: what exactly they record, how and when officers can disable them, and more

Wow, that's interesting. You are not at all afraid that your customers will find out and choose another vendor which is not so keen on keeping them accountable?

Or are you going after mayors (or whatever) more set on reform?

It wouldn’t be a concern if these protests lead to a public mandate at the federal level to require all precincts to adhere to these capabilities by end of 2021.

In other words, the old way is being deprecated, and you cops need to upgrade to v2 or game over.

Need some intelligent leadership to pull this off, but it seems we lack this. We have sincere people that are providing emotional leadership, but I’m seeing very little in the realm of pragmatic and competent leadership.

No draft bills, or even a consensus list of demands by leading figures with forward thinking initiatives yet. Not good, we’re on the cusp of letting another actionable moment blow past us again.
