> You think that a cop is going to download some custom app (that somebody would build… for some reason) It would more likely be something rolled out by the agency itself. That somebody could accordingly be the agency (preferably just a rebadged and customized version of some FOSS application) and "some reason" would be "not having to duplicate a bunch of effort just to maintain an ID database". > using a more complex system that they have less control over I think you're underestimating the complexity of building 50 separate databases and the connections between them, as well as overestimating the control an agency would have over 49 of those databases. And that's just for interstate lookups, never mind international. Point being: in the grand scheme of things, a blockchain-based approach would be far simpler and offer more control.
