Deep Fake AI videos depicting crimes that never occurred are circulating on social media.
In some of these videos, pranksters approach law enforcement officers to “report” a crime and show video evidence of that crime – made by AI.
To be clear: Creating and sharing AI-generated “deepfake” videos that depict criminal activity is not a harmless prank. And if you show it to law enforcement, you can be arrested for making a false report.
Using AI to spread misinformation isn’t entertainment. In fact, it can be a crime

Both Sworn and Civilian Positions Available⭐️
On June 3, 2026, at about 1 p.m., deputies responded to a home in the 8200 block of Tivoli Drive, where there was a report of a woman outside of a home, screaming. When deputies arrived, they knocked on the door of the residence, and the woman came out holding a knife. Deputies retreated back toward the street and ordered her to drop the knife several times. She refused to drop the knife and shouted “I’ll kill you” as she continued to advance.
Three deputies fired their service weapons, and the woman was struck. Deputies rendered aid until paramedics arrived. The woman was transported to the hospital, where she died.
As is our standard procedure, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and will turn over its findings to the State Attorney's Office for review. Once that process is completed, OCSO will conduct its own internal investigation. The deputies who fired their weapons are on temporary, paid administrative leave pending the initial FDLE review.
