We develop smart paper apps here (you know, manually write on the special paper with digital pen and it magically appears on the network as a digital document in legible type, via voodoo).
One of the apps (not ours, I hasten to say!) this has been used for is for a Police Force, principally their TrafPol section. The rolling speed camera units (i.e. in car cameras) had been restricted to issuing no more than 30 tickets per oficer per shift, as the manual paperwork back at the office would take up too much time if they exceeded this.
However since they introduced a smart paper app whereby the ticket is written in the car at the time of the offence then transmitted back to TrafPol HQ via Bluetooth, the officer only has to verify the manifest at the end of the shift to agree with what's been issued.
The new record for any one officer on an 8 hour shift is 278 tickets, seemingly.
Three guesses where this might be in use?

Now, to make it sneakier, the software that transcribes from
handwriting to typed data can verify individuals handwriting, so knows which officer issued it even if for some reason someone queries it. The pens are "logged on" prior to use and "off" after, so the data is time stamped so making it impossible for someone to add to the notes after
the event without the specific individual being identified.
