Re: "App on their smartphones"

I said nothing about the phone stopping working, but there is ZERO reason for them to need to fingerprint someone while not carrying out their duties, and PLENTY of capacity for misuse of the system if they have 24/7 unfettered access to it.

Do firearms officers take their guns home? Do traffic cops take their pursuit car home? Do mounted policemen take their horses home?
