A Seattle Police Department officer, Adam Sun, is on administrative leave after using a pair of AI smart glasses to record a promotional video for a Chinese company, Rokid Global. The film, taken from Sun’s POV while wearing the glasses, showed scenes inside of a police precinct, at a police investigation, in and around the department’s weapons lockers, and inside Sun’s police car while he’s driving, among other locations. The footage is frenetic and Sun hypes the glasses throughout. At one point, Sun daps a man holding a tiny goat.

The cop should be fired and black listed. This is exactly the kind of thing a secret clearance background check is supposed to assess the likelihood of. He is confirmed as too stupid to understand the danger, out corrupt enough to allow it. Either way he's gotta go.

    How come I never get vacations for doing a bad job? 🙁

    So it's no to the bodycam, yes to these?

    I'm having trouble finding any other source than the author of this article. Is this a cover up?

    Erica C Barnett is often on the forefront of journalism in Seattle. She routinely has breaking news. I'm not so sure it's a cover up (though I wouldn't be surprised because it's the SPD) so much as it hasn't hit other news sites yet.

    Good to know. Thanks for the quick response. I was surprised it wasn't in the Seattle Times, and then when I couldn't find anything elsewhere, I thought it was strange. After your comment, I read about her career. Just wow. I hope this story gets broader coverage and Barnett gets credit.
