> Then we’re going to need to spend waaaaay more money on policing, if we don’t allow any paperwork shortcuts. Imagine 2 hours per report for a 2 hour incident - we’d need to double the staffing versus a no paperwork force. > Or just stop responding to nonviolent crime, which already happens. We’ve got to be realistic about the tradeoffs. Oh come on, your reason is pretty fundamentally flawed. This technology is new, so police aren't going to "stop" doing anything if they don't use it, because its unavailability is the status quo. I think it's highly likely that your "imagine 2 hours per report for a 2 hour incident" is a number you pulled out of your butt. But you, me, and everyone should want these reports to be accurate.
