    “We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

    And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:

    1. Another cop

    2. A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.
