State surveillance meets citizen software. They removed the name plates. He built the recognition. This Gen Z innovator just did what the system refuses to: made accountability possible. While Delhi Police deploys facial recognition on protesters (and produces lists full of people who were literally in jail), and officers quietly drop their name plates to stay anonymous during crackdowns, a young developer built an open-source FRT tool that works the other way — identifying officers filmed brutalizing protesters, especially women. No name plate? No problem. The tool estimates matches from open data and public footage. Misconduct is not “fair,” and hiding behind a uniform doesn’t erase what cameras already captured. This is citizen technology flipping the surveillance script. When the state uses AI to watch the people, the people can use AI to watch back. Open-source means anyone can build on it, audit it, and improve it — no permission required. Respect to this kid. So proud of him. Accountability doesn’t need a badge. It needs tools and the will to use them. #PoliceAccountability #GenZ #FacialRecognition #DelhiPolice #RightToProtest #OpenSource
