One or more processors are operationally coupled to one or more software modules, configured to: receive audio data between a suspect and an officer at a portable radio, detect a pre-Miranda statement made by the suspect within the audio data; detect a Miranda warning made by the officer within the audio data; detect a waiving of Miranda rights by the suspect within the audio data; detect a post-Miranda statement by the suspect within the audio data after the waiving of Miranda rights; determine when a degree of semantic similarity between the pre-Miranda statement and the post-Miranda statement fails to satisfy an admissibility condition; generate one or more questions to induce the suspect to repeat the pre-Miranda statement; and present the one or more questions to an electronic user interface.

Abstract: A process of redacting records based on a contextual correlation with a previously redacted record. In operation, an electronic computing device obtains redaction metadata associated with a previously redacted record and uses the redaction metadata to identify a segment within an unredacted record that was redacted to generate the previously redacted record. The device then processes the segment to detect characteristics of a person or the object captured in the unredacted record and further redacted in the redacted record. The device also determines a context in which the redacted person or object was captured within the segment of the unredacted record. The device then redacts a person or object captured in other unredacted records when such person or object is contextually related to the redacted person or object captured in the unredacted record corresponding to the previously redacted record.

Abstract: A portable communication system includes a remote speaker microphone (RSM) accessory (102) coupled to a portable radio and further coupled to a secondary audio accessory (SAA) (108). The RSM accessory (102) includes a user interface toggle switch (120) that toggles between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. Toggling to the first mode of operation selectively routes receive audio from the portable radio to a speaker (112) of the RSM accessory, while generating and routing a periodic audio artifact from the RSM to the SAA (108) for play out at a speaker (316) of the secondary accessory. The received audio is played out of the RSM speaker (112) in parallel with the periodic audio artifact being played out of the secondary accessory speaker (316).
