Hamburg Police Warn of AI-Generated Imposter Profiles Posing as Officers

Police pledge legal review of the profiles, urging users to report them.

Overview

  • Officials say multiple social accounts depict supposed Hamburg policewomen using synthetic images and videos that are not authentic.
  • The content often sexualizes young women in uniform and links followers to paid sites such as OnlyFans, indicating a commercial motive.
  • Media and users flagged telltale AI artifacts, including a mirrored police emblem, a non‑Hamburg license plate, and misaligned fingers in clips.
  • The force reiterates it operates no private Instagram profiles for individual officers and that reliable information appears only on official channels.
  • Case‑by‑case reviews are underway to assess potential criminal or administrative offenses, and platforms are being asked to remove the flagged profiles.
