Who’s going to pay for that data from every tiny PD to be sanitized? Every PD will be slightly different and they may change vendors every couple of years. It sounds like a nightmare.
My point is you don’t want or need “all the data”. You only want the 0.001% that involves use of force.
Then I guess I don’t understand what point you’re arguing.

You have a bad take. Yes all of the data. If my offense are public information, then offenses against the public, mundane or severe, should be public.
Edit: on retrospect, police conduct data should be public regardless of the public status of my or your record.
Offences against the public should be documented publicly.
My job has clients who change vendors constantly, too.
