Probably depends on which police office you are talking about. I would guess there's some who probably aren't!

Then you lose the paper or you forget to bring a pen to cross them out and you wind up with 3 cartons of eggs rather than 1.
Was looking at new cars and the 2018 Corolla has lane assist and correction, collision alert & prevention, adaptive cruise control (you set it for 110kph and come across JLM doing 80kph in the left lane it will slow down for him) auto bright/dim lights. There really isn't much else it needs the driver to do except choose the radio station.
Even more distractions. But cops don't need to have the lights and sirens on to operate the laptop.
It's cute you think that pliers and screwdrivers could make adjustments to this stuff. Really cute.
I foresee a big problem with self-driving cars. If they all obey the speed limit to the letter, accidents will soar as impatient motorists will try to pass at higher speeds...I envision havoc on the roads when you take out the human element.
The impatient motorists will need to also be in self driving cars. Computers can be very patient. They have no deadlines.
The actual tool is irrelevant, regardless of whether it's a screw driver or a ball peen hammer, I'm pretty sure the adjustment can be made!
Absolutely correct, but they may assist in other drivers giving them more space- I think when lights and sirens are in operation a natural reaction is to clear the area!
It's all software and can be done now to most cars (driverless or with driver) if one really wanted. Road rage is not likely a motive however. Most people would be like you and not have a clue how the software actually works or have the wherewithall to change it. I contend it will not be a big issue.

All the cops I have seen using their laptop have not had their lights and sirens operating.
For sure but MOST of them have!
Life can be a real bitch, when you run out of ways to guard against stupidity.
You have just been arguing with the proof that some old dogs can't be taught new tricks ....
A lot of the old ways are still the simplest and the most dependable. As soon as you introduce another step like including a battery you are just adding one more way to fail.
It amazes me how some people deliberately go out of their way to be stupid, while doing it with the whole wide world watching! Very entertaining to watch.

Do you still churn your own butter and put it in the ice box (not refrigerator -- those heat exchangers are just another way to fail you know)?
Technology is a wonderful thing where it speeds up a process, enhances the accuracy of a process or reduces the cost of a process. Unfortunately technology doesn't always accomplish these things. Back in the 60s during my surveying days we had one job involving sounding a lake near Revelstoke. Our boss featured himself as an academic and a little above doing any manual labour. At that time there were two ways to sound the lake- tie a weight to a 100' measure tape and drop it over the side of the boat to get a direct measurement or use the electronic depth sounder. The temperature at the time was 10 below F. and the sounder would quit working after an hour, hence we wasted a good week following the boss's stupidity. When we did it the sensible way we finished the job in two days. Recipe for disaster is often = govt' bureaucracy + technology!
