Police Wonder If AI Bodycam Reports Are Accurate After Model Transforms Officer Into A Frog - Above the Law
"It's not foolproof. There are, of course, asymmetric cases where one party has more superior legal resources and could slip one past a judge when the opposing counsel doesn't see it. That said, in the majority of cases involving hallucinated filings there's someone to catch the lazy lawyers with their pants down and a large language model in their hands."
"HEBER CITY, Utah - An artificial intelligence that writes police reports had some explaining to do earlier this month after it claimed a Heber City officer had shape-shifted into a frog. All Cops Are Bullfrogs as they say. The culprit behind the officer's miraculous transformation is the AI credulously accepting magic of cinema just like those Nicole Kidman's AMC ads tell us we should."
""The body cam software and the AI report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be 'The Princess and the Frog,'" Sgt. Keel told FOX 13 News. "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports." So someone was watching The Princess and the Frog in the background, and the AI - which processes audio, but apparently lacks the discernment of a moderately alert golden retriever - wove Disney"
AI-driven report-writing tools can produce implausible or false content when influenced by background media, creating risks for legal and policing contexts. Courts and opposing counsel often catch erroneous AI-generated legal filings, reducing harm in many cases, though parties with unequal resources may slip errors past reviewers. When police use AI that processes audio, background movies or media can be misinterpreted as factual events, producing reports that attribute impossible actions to officers. Human review and correction of AI-generated outputs are essential to prevent misinformation in official records and maintain accountability.
