This should also provide defense lawyers with adequate evidence for motions to dismiss due to excessive force used. What does this mean?

  Every time a gun is fired, paperwork must be filed. When cops want to hide that they fired shots, likely due to using excessive force in their duties, they don't do the paperwork. This gun now makes an electronic record of every use. No paperwork to support the shot fired? Defense attorneys could subpoena those records as evidence of police misconduct.

    Does that happen actually happen though? I imagine the punishment for not disclosing that you fired your weapon is probably worse than actually firing it.

      I bet it would be, if could be proven to be more than negligence in paperwork. Sadly, that's harder to prove than one would expect. This device will lower the bar considerably, in that regard.
