Record crime or accident scene evidence with video or still cameras.

Record crime or accident scene evidence with video or still cameras. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 4 occupations and seen in 5 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Record images with photographic or audiovisual equipment. in Documenting/Recording Information .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 5 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 5 (100%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Photograph damage and evidence related to causes of fires or explosions to document investigation findings. · Fire Inspectors and Investigators · importance 4.6 · exposure with tools
• Photograph crime or accident scenes for evidence records. · Police Identification and Records Officers · importance 4.6 · exposure with tools
• Note, mark, and photograph location of objects found, such as footprints, tire tracks, bullets and bloodstains, and take measurements of the scene. · Detectives and Criminal Investigators · importance 4.5 · exposure with tools
• Observe and document activities of individuals to detect unlawful acts or to obtain evidence for cases, using binoculars and still or video cameras. · Private Detectives and Investigators · importance 4.3 · exposure with tools
• Photograph or draw diagrams of crime or accident scenes and interview principals and eyewitnesses. · Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers · importance 4.2 · exposure with tools
