I agree. But the reason that we don't have that right now isn't related to whether or not computers are involved, and introducing algorithms won't solve that situation.

The reason that police accountability is weak is political.

Sure. But until we resolve the accountability, we shouldn't increase the power of law enforcement. The more unaccountable power they have, the more it will be abused, and the graver the abuses.
