It does? Last I heard, law enforcement shut down this stuff regularly, and even have teams dedicated to it.
- microcolonel 10y agoLaw enforcement agencies often seem to rely on tools developed by private businesses to investigate certain types of crime. Developing useful niche tools for this task is not legally viable (unless, I suspect, if ordered by a court), so I wonder if LEAs are getting the tools they need.
- DanBC 10y agoCould you give some examples? One thing that forensic teams need is to identify locations. Things that help are databases of coca cola (etc) labels, and computer vision recognition of those product labels. (Or carpet patterns). This works by programmers making a general purpose tool, and then law enforcement approach them with censored images to train the software.
