Having worked with some law enforcement records software I can say that "paperwork" (which now involves filling out electronic forms) and waiting for state database queries to come back are definitely a time suck. The officers who I know would like the process to be faster as well. Being stopped on the roadside is a dangerous situation that nobody wants to be in longer than necessary.
