Cops being paid overtime is a tremendous conflict of interest motivating them to arrest and to process slowly.
- wheaties 12y agoI doubt very seriously that any cop does not find the manual paper entry and time wasted a good thing. More than likely they wanted to go home just as bad as the "perps."

- vacri 12y agoIt's better than encouraging them not to fill out paperwork.
- pyre 12y agoThen again, you could be seen as punishing the cops for making a (possibly good) arrest by forcing them to spend long hours processing paperwork and not getting paid. Though, I do agree that the current situation is stacked in a bad way.
