We're trying to use technology to solve a legal / political issue, which predictably ineffective results.

Unfortunately, I don't even think improved state oversight will help until the underlying issue of qualified immunity is addressed. The current legal framework in the US literally rewards police officers for being ignorant of the law.

I have no idea why you're getting down voted. The amount of BS and straight out criminal conduct cops can get away with due to immunity is sickening.
