21-day release clock
The release date is verified to fall within the statutory window, computed deterministically — never estimated.
The most rigorous public-records video release pack a law enforcement agency can send.
ClearFrame assembles a documentation-complete redaction and release packet — every required redaction, every exemption mapped, the frame-level log, and the statutory calendar — checked against the letter of applicable public-records statutes before a specialist releases it.

Why packs fail
A single missed redaction can trigger penalties and lawsuits.
A law enforcement agency's video release is only as strong as the redaction behind it. Miss a face, a license plate, a minor, or a piece of audio PII — and the agency faces statutory penalties, attorney-fee shifting, and privacy-breach liability. Most agencies manually scrub video at 4 staff-hours per footage-hour, with backlogs growing and statutory clocks ticking.
Redaction software exists, but it's a tool, not a service. The agency still owns the labor, the QA risk, and the deadline. When a critical-incident request comes in, sworn officers get pulled off the street to blur video.
ClearFrame exists to close that gap with a single, exhaustive standard applied identically to every file.

The benchmark
Measured against the letter of the statute — subsection by subsection.
We do not summarize the law and hope. Every pack is scored against a versioned rule pack tied to the exact text of applicable public-records statutes. These are the provisions each pack is held to.
45-day critical incident deadline
For critical incidents, the pack is prioritized and tracked against the 45-day statutory deadline.
Penalty exposure & attorney fees
Every pack includes a penalty-risk assessment based on the daily penalty schedule ($5–$100/day per record) and mandatory attorney fees.
Universal BWC mandate
For Illinois agencies, the pack verifies compliance with the universal body-worn-camera mandate effective 1/1/2025.
Outsourcing guidance
The pack documents that the agency followed DOJ guidance to outsource when resources are insufficient, mitigating claims of unreasonable delay.
Expanded public-record scope
For agencies using ALPR, the pack includes automated license plate reader images as public records per the Washington court ruling.
How a pack is built
Intake to specialist release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.
AI detects and tracks. Deterministic rules — running as code, outside the model — decide what is redacted. A human specialist signs every release. That order is never reversed.
01
Backlog & Deadline Exposure Scan
Upload your pending requests and footage inventory. We return a free completeness read: which statutory deadlines are at risk, and which redactions are missing.
02
AI-native detection & tracking
Our engine runs face detection, license plate detection, screen detection, minor detection, and speech-to-text for audio PII — all with frame-level tracking.
03
Deterministic redaction gates
Every detected object is redacted with a deterministic mask. The system verifies coverage at every frame — any gap blocks release.
04
Exemption mapping & log generation
Each redaction is mapped to a statutory exemption (privacy, ongoing investigation, etc.) and logged in a frame-level redaction log for agency counsel sign-off.
05
Specialist release
A certified human redaction reviewer reviews the exception queue and signs the release. High-profile or critical-incident packs route to attorney review first.
06
Delivery
You receive the pack: redacted video/audio files, frame-level redaction log, statute-mapped exemption worksheet, and a statutory calendar — ready for the agency to release under its own name.

Why ClearFrame
Built to be the most thorough option an agency has.
Documentation-complete, by design
The deliverable is completeness itself — every redaction accounted for, every exemption mapped, every frame verified. Nothing is left implicit.
Deterministic, not vibes
The gates that decide redaction coverage are code, not a model's opinion. A missed detection cannot slip past a frame-level check.
In its lane, on purpose
We prepare documentation and run redactions as your clerical agent. We never make exemption decisions, give legal advice, or release records without agency sign-off.

FAQ
Questions, answered precisely.
Is ClearFrame a law firm?
No. ClearFrame, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides documentation-completeness services. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent you in any legal matter. Attorney review is available and recommended for high-profile or critical-incident packs.
Do you make exemption decisions or release records?
Never. ClearFrame does not make exemption decisions or release records. The agency retains all exemption authority and is the party responsible for releasing records under its own name.
What makes a pack 'complete'?
Completeness is defined by the statute: every required redaction applied, every frame verified, every exemption mapped, and the statutory deadline tracked. Deterministic gates enforce each one before release.
How fast is it?
The standard SLA is five business days from complete intake to a specialist-released pack. The free Backlog Scan is returned much sooner and tells you exactly what is at risk.
How are you priced?
A flat fee per finished video-hour ($79 standard / $129 rush). No contingency and no percentage of any penalty or recovery.
