To Redact and Serve Suspect Technologies, a startup in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has developed advanced facial recognition algorithms, but for two very different purposes within law enforcement. One use addresses the privacy considerations around body cameras worn by police officers. The most frequently cited goal of body worn video (BWV) is to improve law enforcement accountability and transparency.

When someone files a Freedom of Information Act request to acquire one of these videos, law enforcement agencies must promptly comply. But they can’t do that without first blurring the identities of victims, minors, and innocent bystanders, which typically has been a slow, tedious process restricted to video specialists. Suspect Technologies’ automated video redaction (AVR) software, available on cameras manufactured by VIEVU, is optimized for the real-world conditions of BWV – most notably high movement and low lighting.
