The French team is working on four dimensions of this new police visibility:
- how videos (of various kinds) are used by police oversight institutions (the General Inspectorate of the National Police, the General Inspectorate of the National Gendarmerie, and the Defender of Rights);
- how videos are used (by citizens, the media, and human rights organizations) to publicize and document certain police practices, particularly police violence;
- how videos showing the use of force become the subject of commentary, debate, criticism, or support by ordinary citizens on social media;
- how police institutions (both the police and the gendarmerie) use video footage for the internal training of their units.
