AI Generates Fake Police Reports, Judge Cautions Against Declining Public Trust

- A U.S. federal judge criticized ICE agents for using AI like ChatGPT to draft force reports, warning of accuracy risks and eroded public trust. - Experts argue AI-generated narratives risk fabrication, prioritizing speculative outcomes over factual accuracy in legal contexts. - Privacy concerns arise as uploading sensitive images to public AI platforms could expose data to misuse and unintended public sharing. - With no federal AI guidelines for law enforcement, states like Utah and California now requir

A federal judge has expressed serious concerns about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents utilizing artificial intelligence to compose use-of-force reports, warning that this practice could compromise both accuracy and public confidence. In a recent judicial opinion, Judge Sara Ellis observed that an agent

relied on ChatGPT to write a report

after supplying the AI with only minimal details—a short summary and some images—which led to inconsistencies between the official report and the footage from the agent’s body camera. The judge condemned this method, stating it damages the credibility of the agents and may account for the report’s inaccuracies.

Specialists caution that depending on AI for critical documentation presents significant risks. Ian Adams, a criminology professor and member of an AI advisory group,

described this method as "the worst possible scenario"

, stressing that giving an AI just a sentence and images encourages it to invent information instead of presenting objective facts. Law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson further noted that predictive AI systems might warp narratives by focusing on what "should have happened" instead of what actually occurred, making legal defense more difficult in court.

Concerns about privacy add another layer to the debate. Katie Kinsey, a technology policy advisor at NYU's Policing Project,

pointed out that sharing images with public AI services

such as ChatGPT could put sensitive information at risk, since uploaded data may become publicly accessible. She remarked that law enforcement is "building the plane while flying it" regarding AI oversight, often implementing rules only after errors have been made.

The Department of Homeland Security has yet to issue definitive policies on how agents should use AI, and the body camera video referenced in the court’s decision has not been made available to the public. In contrast, states like Utah and California have started mandating that AI-generated records be clearly marked, offering a possible path toward greater openness.

Technology firms are also grappling with AI’s place in policing.

Axon

, a company that supplies body cameras, has created AI tools that only generate audio-based summaries, deliberately avoiding the challenges of interpreting visual data. Nonetheless, the use of predictive analytics in law enforcement remains controversial, with detractors questioning whether AI-driven choices meet professional standards or the public’s expectations for accountability.

As AI becomes more prevalent, this case highlights the pressing need for strong regulations to safeguard accuracy, privacy, and ethical standards. Without clear rules, the growing use of AI in policing could undermine both the justice system and public trust.
