The Complexities of Policing and Accountability

This chapter explores the reliability of police reports and the challenges of navigating inconsistent documentation within the justice system, particularly criticizing the NYPD's reporting practices. It also scrutinizes the controversial history of Axon, previously Taser, and raises ethical concerns about its AI technologies and the use of 'excited delirium' as a justification for police force. Furthermore, the chapter addresses the implications of police resource allocation and the harmful effects that systemic racism has on legal outcomes.
