They probably used it as an excuse to send millions of public dollars to the police chiefs brother in law or some shit, that's usually how this works.

They are waiting for a new jurisprudence that has decided how police are expected to respond to information from the panopticon.

If the new decisions end up painting a picture where it’s okay to be shown hearsay by the panopticon then as long as there’s a sound investigation and solid evidence they’ll be able to keep using these systems, now with codified policies.

If it comes down that cops aren’t supposed to look at the panopticon then they will just sell them off to people who can (the prison system) and cover up everything they did as best as is possible.
