Comment on Seattle Police hackathon to redact video streams recorded by police cams

Comments

There needs to be a focus on the architecture of the entire system. What should be redacted and why? How do we ensure that only copies are redacted and that the original is always available?

The code used should be free and open source. The hardware it's running on needs to be known, inspectable, and tamper-proof.

It's probably a good idea to get these questions answered first/soon. Proprietary and secretive code can stay entrenched for a long time and I'm not sure we want that.
