I see a lot of body cam footage on YouTube and social media. How are these content creators identifying which incidents to make FOIA requests for, are they just blind requesting and hoping they get something good? I have to imagine it has to have chilling effect on people in dangerous situations (think DV) who opt out of calling for help because they are afraid to end up on a viral body cam social media account during a scary and probably humiliating time in their lives.

Usually they're blind requests. Ohio passed a law permitting police departments to charge for releasing footage. I don't love it, but I also don't love that they're taking the worst day of someone's life and monetizing it forever with a boomer-bait caption like "Entitled Millennial FREAKS OUT When Held Accountable"

I love it. Reviewing and exacting those videos before releasing them is a pain in the ass.

Interesting take on the chilling effect. I wonder if it holds any real water. I’ve never heard of someone not calling the cops bc they’re afraid the body cam footage could end up online. Not saying it doesn’t or cannot happen, just feels like such a niche consideration. If I am calling emergency services, YouTube is literally the last thing on my mind.

Well we have to consider that not all DV is imminent physical violence. There are people trapped in homes with people who emotionally and verbally abuse them and make threats against their safety and they just wish for the abuser to leave. Public humiliation is also another method of abuse, so the threat of public humiliation, whether during an interaction with police, online, or within their community is very real and can deter a person from calling for help to get the abuser removed from their home. Saw someone mention how their abuser would threaten to expose things about them so that it was recorded via bodycam if they were to call the police.

They’re probably AI

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
