TikTok AI deepfakes show cops groping arrestees in real arrest footage

AI-manipulated videos on TikTok take real arrest footage and add fake scenes of police officers kissing and groping arrestees. Copyleaks flagged the deepfakes, and TikTok removed the examples after being contacted, citing its rules on labeling realistic AI content.

• Deepfakes are spliced onto real arrest footage originally filmed for reality TV
• Fake sexual scenes are placed at the start of longer clips to hook viewers
• Some videos carry AI labels and an "entertainment only" disclaimer
• TikTok removed the flagged examples after the outlet's request
