Chain of evidence kind of thing?
Like they used to have to use Polaroids (some places anyhow) to ensure the pictures weren’t altered at some point. (I don’t know what they do about that now.)
What do other police departments do?
Jeez, Mr. Serious! I was just joking with ya!
If I have a form like that I just estimate the locations of what needs to be added, print it once, hold it over the form and if it fits put the form in the printer and print. You can get pretty good at estimating and you can, of course save anything that might be recurring.
When we have government permits to fill out, they are all on carbon paper and need typed on a typewriter.
I dread when one of these gets put in my box.
I went through 12 forms before I got it typed correctly.
When I hit the wrong key, my stomach instantly sinks.
I didn’t even know how to load the thing the first time. I had to ask a co-worker how to us it and she laughed at me. I told her I’ve learned on a computer my entire life. I have to use for such archaic things.
So which politicians son owns the typewriter company?

Interesting, I’ve wondered about that. I’m no forensic expert, but I don’t know how you’d ever be able to tell a good PhotoShop job from the real thing. Present-day technology would’ve made Winston Smith’s job way easier.
you can just call me serious.
i am used to microsoft word that usually capitalizes the correct words. i have learned to avoid the shift key.
It would be interesting to know the unit cost of the typewriters under this contract. I’ll betcha it’s more than what you can get a decent laptop for.

(snicker... snicker)Are they (heh-heh) correctible???
SNORT*
digital for some stuff, but courts won't take digital stuff for the reasons you specified.
we still have to use the good ol' polaroid camera!
Linotype machines are still in use(not widely) why wouldn’t typewriters still be?
Maybe it’s not such a bad idea. Typewriters don’t crash and they usually aren’t hacked into that I know of. :)
Hizzonah wants us to reduce da cahbon footprint.
The ONLY process rioters are entitled to can be accomplished with a "point and click device" called a firearm.
Rioters should be SHOT ON SIGHT.
This is stupid. This is going to cause double entry when a lap top would be similiar in price, connect to a network of a mainfrain program and you can pull the info to print out a police report or whatever is needed for a court case.
Now they will have to type the report then have someone either FILE it in a mountain of files, or key it in to the system.
Yeah, I want these geniuses running my healthcare.
Okay serious! LOL!
Computers are made in China; Typewriters in the US.
Speaks volumes.
