Amazon, known mainly for its online consumer marketplace, is
becoming a potent resource for federal, state and local authorities,
peddling an array of tools that harness the power of cloud-based
computing, artificial intelligence and video analysis.
Some of the products seem mundane, offering agencies a
relatively cheap method of storing, sharing and crunching data through
networks of remote web servers known as the cloud. Others are
contentious, making it easier for police to identify and monitor people.
Together, they show how one company has broadened its influence by
supplying law enforcement with technology that has modernized
crime-fighting but is evolving too fast for government oversight to keep
up.
