The Creation of Custom Data Sets to Meet Customer Needs: A BSC Project
Rapidly advancing technology and the growing need for accurate and efficient data analysis have led organizations to seek customized data sets tailored to their specific needs.
Speech and video data masking is a technology developed to protect the privacy of individuals in video and audio recordings. This can be useful for law enforcement agencies that need to collect, share or release evidence but do not want to release personal information about the people involved.
Law enforcement agencies have increasingly turned to multimedia (document, speech and video) data masking techniques to distort, blur or pixelate the faces of innocent individuals captured in footage to protect their Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Once data masking technologies have been applied to speech or video recordings, forensic evidence can be presented as solid evidence, fully respectful of the public’s rights. These techniques involve concealing or altering sensitive information in audio and video recordings to prevent the identification of individuals involved in criminal investigations.

Speech data masking can be used to either distort the voices of individuals in audio recordings or introduce a beep or similar sound, which helps to protect their identity and prevent their voice from being used to identify them.
Video and speech data masking techniques can also have legal consequences if not implemented properly. For example, if PII is revealed in forensic evidence, it could potentially violate the privacy rights of individuals involved and lead to legal repercussions for law enforcement agencies. Also, improper processing could be misused for evidence manipulation; a piece of evidence might be altered in other valid data such as data about location or movements, economic situation, etc. To prevent this from happening, law enforcement agencies need to be aware of the legal implications of using video and speech data masking techniques and take steps to ensure that they are implemented correctly. This includes understanding the legal requirements for obtaining and using forensic evidence, as well as implementing proper procedures for handling and safeguarding this information.
Law enforcement legally collects video and audio evidence for many legal purposes. However, the privacy of individuals mentioned, faces, etc., has to be respected when releasing data.
There are a number of ways that speech and video data masking can be used by law enforcement.
And, in all cases:
“Video and speech data masking can be a valuable tool for law enforcement agencies. It can help to protect the privacy of individuals while still allowing law enforcement to collect evidence.” – Manuel Herranz, CEO, Pangeanic
The legal consequences of revealing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in video as forensic evidence can be significant. One of the main uses of video and speech data masking is to protect the privacy of innocent individuals who may be captured on video during an investigation. In criminal cases, video recordings are often used as evidence to establish the guilt or innocence of a suspect. However, these recordings may also capture bystanders or other individuals who have no connection to the crime, and the release of this footage could potentially harm their privacy and reputation.
In some cases, revealing PII in video or speech may lead to the suppression of evidence, the dismissal of charges, or even the overturning of a conviction.
The following are some of the legal consequences that may result from revealing PII in video as forensic evidence:
“It is important for law enforcement agencies to be aware of the legal consequences of revealing PII in video as forensic evidence. By taking steps to protect the privacy2 of individuals, law enforcement agencies can help to avoid these legal consequences. - Amando Estela Multimedia Data Masking Product Owner
Another use of video and speech data masking is to protect the identity of law enforcement officials involved in sensitive operations. In some cases, law enforcement officers may need to conceal their identity to protect themselves and their families from potential harm. Video and speech data masking can be used to alter the voices and appearances of these officers in recordings, which helps to protect their identity and prevent their recognition by individuals who may pose a threat to them.
We all understand the importance of video and speech data masking techniques. They have become increasingly important tools for law enforcement agencies to protect the privacy of individuals involved in criminal investigations. These techniques can help to prevent the identification of innocent individuals captured in video footage and protect the identity of law enforcement officials involved in sensitive operations. However, it's important for law enforcement agencies to be aware of the legal implications of using these techniques and take steps to ensure that they are implemented correctly to prevent the release of PII in forensic evidence.
We hope our tips will help 21st-century law enforcement agencies protect the privacy of individuals while still collecting evidence.
