Cellebrite Dumps AI Into Its Cell Phone-Scraping Tool So Cops Can Hallucinate Evidence

I honestly don’t understand this compunction to break things that are already working fine.

Simple market capitalist mindset. If you're not expanding, you're dying.

Equipping cops with cameras gets cops in prison, not the people cops are terrorizing, that’s the difference.

The headline seems a little misleading, since there's no reason to think AI summaries themselves are going to be what gets presented to a court. Sounds like the actual concern is violating someone's rights by going through all of their phone data beyond the scope of a warrant:

Allowing software to just go blundering around in the scraped contents of a seized phone is quite another, as ACLU lawyer Jennifer Granick stated to 404 Media:

“The Fourth Amendment does not permit law enforcement to rummage through data, but only to review information for which there is probable cause. To use an example from the press release, if you have some porch robberies, but no reason to suspect that they are part of a criminal ring, you are not allowed to fish through the data on a hunch, in the hopes of finding something, or ‘just in case.’“
