>what happens when society solves its issues and theres no need to 'keep them busy' :(

Look at the engineering and surveying firms over the past 50yr. Cops will likely see something like that. Like they'll get written into all sorts of laws and processes despite the scope of the "value" they provide being narrower than ever.

It'll turn into a low effort make-work job. Like Realtors(TM) with extra steps to justify their existence.

Like no amount of 1080p Ring footage of your door getting kicked in will suffice, the insurance company will not believe your house has been broken into until a certified license holding cop shows up and signs off on it.
