AI-Drafted Police Report Said Officer Turned into A Frog
Lehto's Law ^ | January 5, 2026 | Steve Lehto

Posted on 01/05/2026 9:26:37 PM PST by xxqqzz

An AI-powered program used by a police department in Utah drafted a preliminary report indicating that a police officer had transformed into a frog. It appears it picked up the concept from a movie running in the background of the scene.

If a cop uses AI for a report, that ends the case for me.
If I am on the jury and I hear the cop used AI to write the report, that’s an instant “not guilty” vote.

And I also pretty much lean that way if I learn the police identified a suspect with AI and mass surveillance like Flock cameras. Not 100% but mostly.

But if AI wrote the report? Not Guilty... period.

The frog is rude, eats cheese and hates Americans.

Just research AI hallucinations

AI hallucinations occur when an AI model generates incorrect, nonsensical, or misleading information while presenting it as factual and confident. This phenomenon is a result of the model’s probabilistic nature, where it predicts the most likely next word or pattern based on its training data, rather than possessing a true understanding of facts or reality. Hallucinations are a significant challenge, particularly in high-stakes fields like healthcare and law, where they can lead to serious consequences.

According to the report, the officer then disarmed the perp with his tongue.

AI is the woke/DEI (lazy) version of “cliff notes” intelligence. The left will just naturally love and embrace it....since it’s flawed and inaccurate.

https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/summit-county/how-utah-police-departments-are-using-ai-to-keep-streets-safer
Earlier this month, the department began testing two pieces of AI software, Draft One and Code Four. Code Four was created by George Cheng and Dylan Nguyen, both 19 years old and MIT dropouts, kicked off earlier this year. The software generates police reports from body camera footage in hopes of reducing paperwork and allowing officers to be out in the field more.

Draft One was the software used to create the Disney-inspired police report.

Code Four costs about $30 per officer each month. Keel said the trial run for Code Four wraps up next month, but department officials say they plan to continue using the AI technology; it’s just a matter of which system.

If a Star Trek video is playing in the background the AI will put “warp 9” on traffic tickets.

Lol.
