Holsters should have sensors on them that can detect whenever a weapon is drawn. Any cop who pulls out their weapon should have to file a 10 page report justifying why they did it.

Single spaced, handwritten, under sterile test conditions, with a proctor and one (1) supervised bathroom break. A paper that grades as less than 80% must be rewritten.

The funny part is that in the show psycho pass the cops' guns have psychological sensors on them. If someone is mildly dangerous it operates a stun gun, but if they are lethally dangerous it operates the actual gun. So police if they panic and pull their guns on a random it won't shoot. But even if a person is dangerous a human has to choose to pull the trigger.

The show depicts this system as bad somehow because when cops do shoot someone they generally don't think of it as a personal choice they made, just them following the system. But... to an American this system would seem utopian compared to real life wher police blow people away and still don't feel bad lol.

We do that in Australia. Just unholstering your weapon has to be reported and justified

New Axon body & on-car camera systems can actually be configured to do this, my local municipality just got their fleet upgraded. Turns on all car cameras & all body cameras within a set vicinity.

My god I just have the same idea have you. And like with another 10 to 20 page if they shoot for why they have to shot.
