Well, they're going to take the screenshots out of it and try to figure out what they can find from that one particular shot and identify if there's anything that's usable in that shot.

pretty quick shot that's moving so it's not something that's going to be an easy thing to do but they're going to take that video in the stills and try to enhance whatever they can to find anything descriptions bumper stickers the license plate obviously if they can figure any of that out the year make and model obviously is important because then they can start tracking down who owns those in the state and try to figure out you know what potential list of suspects they might have

who own that kind of car and then start contacting each one.

Keep in mind that any part of that identification can be important.

the color, the make and model, like we said, they're gonna be able to go to the DMV locally and identify who has that.

If it's a thousand cars, if there's one distinctive feature that can limit the information that they've got to research, then that'll knock that down and they can go after those people.

But even if it's a thousand cars, they've gotta try to figure out where those people are in this case because of what's happened and identify who was there and whether they potentially were in that city or not.

Well, you know, the fact that the FBI has got digital forensic experts and video experts that can do this, it's something that, you know, is well known.

They've been parsing through this.

I don't know that they've got the speed to be able to do the things that people do online when they do a, you know, community-driven review of these things once they release the video.

people are looking at this, trying to identify things and matching things at a speed that we've never seen before in law enforcement because this whole community driven approach to identifying information in these videos and photos has changed how law enforcement has to look at this.

And sometimes they're on their heels trying to catch up with what the community's doing, these communities identifying stuff, sometimes correctly, sometimes incorrectly, and then they've got to spend time

trying to figure out whether what the public is saying is correct or not, that can take away from what they're doing.

So sometimes it's hard to do that, but they've got the skills to be able to get the information and identify what's there.
