Problem #2 - Leverage Blockchain to track police reports, body cam footage, etc. #28

Theme:

Brief description of your idea: Leverage Blockchain technology to prevent law enforcement officers from: tampering with evidence captured digitally, chopping or deleting video recordings and audio recordings, tampering with police reports, etc. For example, utilizing this Blockchain based tool, the original copy/version of a police report would be immutable, and will always be traceable to the original version, who created it, timestamps, etc. This way, the assigned users can track how many times a police report was updated/changed, what information was changed or added, and by whom. This Blockchain tool could be part of a larger solution.

What makes your idea unique?: At present, there may not be many solutions available which permanently captures and tracks all changes made to police reports, further creating potential to falsify information, tamper with documented information, etc.

What would be the impact of your idea if implemented?: We need a way to protect evidence in its original form, i.e. body cam footage, dash cam footage

Skills to contribute (e.g. development, architecture, research, design or anything else):
