In 2018 the Superbowl was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During that time the Minneapolis Police Department worked closely with US Bank, Target Corporation, and other Law Enforcement Agencies to blanket the Twin Cities Metro in a sea of cameras they could use to conduct warrant-less surveillance on citizens of and visitors to Minnesota.
In 2019, Bruce Folkens felt that expectations were raised with regard to solving crimes by identifying the person that committed those crimes using video, audio, and forensic evidence rather than just using uncorroborated witness testimony as they had, "Years and years and years ago".

In 2016, MPD claimed to have began using "predictive" methodology to identify offenders before they even committed a crime. This article is dated 6 years before the launch of the first well-known Large Language Model based "AI", ChatGPT.
Was MPD actually capable of "predicting" anything in 2016, over 6 full years before the launch of ChatGPT?
How many times has MPD done something that wasn't caught on nearby surveillance camera where they either killed, maimed, or incarcerated someone who had nothing to do with what they were accused of, or where they were accused with significant details missing?
Remember: after Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in cold blood, MPD stated that a man died, "after suffering a medical incident". If it were not for the bravery of Darnella Frazier, we may have never known that George Floyd was murdered. We do not have a death penalty in Minnesota unless the police decide to be judge, jury, and executioner.
We do lock people away for 30, 60, or even 90 years with no possibility of parole which equates to a death sentence in most cases because life expectancy for incarcerated people is lower than that of people outside of prisons. See Prison Policy Institute Article on some of the collateral consequences of incarceration.
