Are you kidding? This would be a godsend to anyone with a good legal team… and terrible for society.
Someone which is totally not me got a speeding ticket and the office wrote “BL” instead of “black” when describing the color of the car. Wrote down the drivers license, video of the speed with plates, etc. That shorthand was enough ambiguity in court to say he couldn’t accurately confirm the car was the suspect and not an identical blue car with the same plates somehow not on the video of the black car.
I don’t care what the situation is, but there is nothing worse than the possibility of a hallucination in a police report. Are there huge opportunities to cover up crimes and bias? Yes this will surely be used to perpetuate all sorts of bad behavior. Is it likely to entrap lots of innocent people? Probably. Is it also likely to contaminate useful evidence? Without a doubt.

I am wondering if it is that common, or courts usually ignore such imperfections.
