I think, ideally, no one needs to show up at all. Drone pulls your ID from the license/registration/facial analysis, fines you, then tells you to come in. You don't, then it then sits and waits for you at home/work/family, tells you to come in. Shuts down your ID, your cards, your cell, very possibly your car, and everything else, and bills your family . . until you come in.

Sure, it's dystopian as all hell, but unless cops get paid like actual officers, or you figure out a way to pay cops like dishwashers, I think it's a better option for low-density policing. I guess, these days, we can have local neighborhood volunteer police, which . . whelp . . is also dystopian but in a whole other new - or, rather, old-fashioned - direction.
