Back in the day, the old '70s cop shows I watched always had a police chief barking... "I want it on my desk by 9 a.m. tomorrow!" The cop, be it Starsky or Hutch, always made a sour face as if to say... Oh, yeah... that part of the job I hate!

The hassle of writing up police reports has been around for a while. And I see no problem in getting AI to help, as long as officers proofread what the machine spits out. Blindly submitting an AI-assisted report, however, without carefully looking it over would be unethical.
