Second aim: how do NYPD officers request consent to search? Officers are instructed to give + get explicit consent, but words "consent" & "search" only appear in 3% of consent search BWC vids. (4/6)
The full report is available here. Together, it builds on our past work, showing how body camera recordings can serve as data to understand policing and a tool to improve it. Thanks to @robvoigt.bsky.social and team, along with the NYPD, monitor, and city of New York (6/6)
Appreciated chatting with Spectrum News about our recent analysis of NYPD body camera footage (available at www.nypdmonitor.org/resources-re...)
Instead, officers often request consent indirectly. To say "no" to "Do you mind if I check?", you say "yes". These implicit consent requests are more common in consent searches of Black and Hispanic civilians (5/6)
Our group (@robvoigt.bsky.social, @ncamp.bsky.social , Dan Sutton, & Jennifer Eberhardt) had two aims. First, could BWC transcripts identify pedestrian contacts that crossed the line into stops? @robvoigt.bsky.social trained a classifier on retired federal judges' and the monitor's judgments. (2/6)

Great clip wrt limits of body cams: "greatest hits" --visual perspective, activation-- and "latest singles" --asymmetries in redactions & transparency. As @robvoigt.bsky.social and I wrote, footage can be useful as data, but needs right org/policies in place journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
These models can sort properly documented stops from non-stops with 90% accuracy. They are 70%+ accurate in IDing under-documented stops. Model-assisted auditing could uncover 50% of undocumented stops ID'd by the monitor by looking at the top 25% "stop-like" recordings logged as non-stops. (3/6)
New report led by @robvoigt.bsky.social analyzing NYPD body cam footage. As part of the federal monitorship of the NYPD, we analyze language in over 6,000 BWC recordings to identify under-documented stops and how officers request consent to search. (1/6)
New work led by @whatsinertia.bsky.social, combining fear conditioning and perceptual deindividuation. Conditioned threats spread to more dissimilar Black vs. White targets- findings of interest for soc cognition as well as eyewitness identificatoin. Check it out!

New paper in @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social!! 🧵
When people learn to fear one person, who else do they mistake for a threat, and does race shape the pattern?
