Put the person into the police car, connect to a video conference with a review board, review the footage of the police officer's FPV cam, and let the person go if no crime was committed.
People might laugh at the idea above but we're operating with a policing structure that developed a long time before video recording and conferencing technology became available or cheap enough to be embedded with every officer. We have an abundance of people versed in criminal and civil law. Could you not automatically form a quorum of staff versed in legal matters from across the city/state/country to quickly give the thumbs up to an arrest over video conference? Sort of like a Mechanical Turk for legal matters? They could operate from a call center or home.
Imagine the benefits of this to regional areas where local/district courts have fewer resources than their city-based brethren.
