I totally get that and on the surface it seems like a good thing. It is a fun idea and I like it.

Another side of me says they will just corrupt it. For instance, not reporting/covering up things to avoid insurance increases. A union pooling insurance so good cops can subsidize bad cops. Local, state, or federal politicians/judges who try to water down these effects with additional laws or judgements against insurance carriers.

They cover things up now with no consequences at all. Even when someone brings them to court they just spout qualified immunity and no consequences. Its a idea with teeth just like a national law enforcement database that would keep up with officer incidents. They got really upset about that idea last election. If it upsets them then its undoubtedly good for their victims.
