Could you build this?
No Real-time public safety video intelligence requires low-latency edge computer vision, multi-camera tracking, and mission-critical reliability under stringent CJIS government regulations.
What it would actually take: The system requires an edge-to-cloud distributed video ingestion pipeline connecting to municipality or facility RTSP camera feeds, running optimized object detection, tracking, and re-identification models at 30+ FPS. The hardest challenges are minimizing false positive threat detections in crowded environments and meeting CJIS/FedRAMP regulatory, data encryption, and chain-of-custody requirements. This requires senior computer vision engineers and government compliance experts.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
