This is great news! Everything you just described reduces the chances of (human error-induced) police brutality!
Except, of course, for police battle drones.
Except, of course, I said “reduce,” not “eliminate.”
Terrific!
Maybe the accused can prove their innocence by accessing some spy agency’s time-stamped covert recording of sexual activity from a remotely activated computer camera carelessly left open in his or her bedroom.
