Having picked a habit of watching propable cause proceedings on YouTube, I wonder if this is simply result of real reports that AI was trained on being purposefully obtuse and laconic to give prosecutors a wiggle space in the court room?
The prosecutors are given the most absolute trash reports to work with. "Failure to ID, after a traffic stop." "What was the stop for?" "It doesn't say." "So no PC for the stop."
"A caller and said she thought someone was stealing their neighbor's U Haul. A man was observed walking on that street and taken into custody for ..." "For what? Walking while black?"
But no sympathy for the prosecutors either. Garbage reports, but they obviously don't read them pre-hearing, and have plainly become accustomed to judges rubber stamping their PC hearings.
I do like that he doesn't go 'lightly' with the defendants. "You got off lucky this time. You know it, I know it. Do better or it might not go the same next time", and when there is PC or other such, he doesn't put up with any bullshit either.
His patronizing tone to the defendants is the one thing I can’t stand about him. Telling some kid who did nothing wrong and was pulled over for no reason “be careful” is bs. What else should the kid do? They already were doing nothing wrong.
I don't find them to be that patronizing (actually, the tone I could see as such). But I think it's more "don't give anyone extra reason to come at you". Like he knows, from daily experience, that they will, and he's doing his part. But more "don't be your worst enemy, because the system isn't right and they will try to make your life difficult".
He has literally said this. The judge was berating the prosecutor, defendant puts his hand up, "Judge, can I say something?" He looks at him. "Are you winning right now?" "Yeah..." "Then you don't say anything."
What Axon's product should be: Define "best" police report, and assist the officer to write that.
What it is: Axon makes whatever police departments ask for.
It doesn't have to be a big conspiracy. It's not incompetence either. Hanlon's Razer should really be, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by" the enterprise sales pipeline.
Enterprise sales is why we are talking about Axon and not far older, detailed, thoughtful efforts from all sorts of other organizations.
