I bet if they made all footage publicly available, watchdog style groups would be reviewing the shit out of that footage. But yeah AI might help too maybe.

While I agree wholeheartedly, that is unrealistic due to laws. You can't reveal certain suspects identity because for certain crimes, like pedophilia, people will attempt to execute the suspect before they know whether or not they actually did it.

I mean police footage would be privacy invading as hell for victims and even just bystanders.

A charge being filed against someone is already public record in the majority of areas in the United States, as well as any court records resulting from those charges.

I forgot to add suspects that are minors, not positive but pretty sure they can't be shown either.

Then they could just withhold the video from public since they're already withholding the charge. The real issue would be protecting victims, not suspects.
