Context from the article.
Yes, it's cklearly something that we need to keep an eye on.
Sure they haven't. 🤦♂️
I commend your optimism/open mind, I've just seen the abuse by anyone in a position of authority too many times.
And I mean any authority, middle management at companies, etc. Many people struggle to resist using whatever power they have (myself included).
I think enabling the functionality would require too much back-office and vendor integration to make it a feasible lie. Too many people would know about it - and the risks from lying and saying 'not enabled' are too great.
If they had been enabled - and found out - the recommended lie would be "we are currently undertaking a small-scale trial of the technology to assess it's effectveness. We will be report on the results early next year as part of a wider public consultation into it's wider deployment". (Why yes, I have worked in public sector comms).
Or it means they're not using that specific function, but are still gathering data and training the AI or something.
The Met are already using it - just not (yet) on bodycams.
