Yeah, I'm not seeing the usefulness. Especially if it's using the outward-facing camera, so you can walk next to someone on the phone, then jedi-mind trick your phone into hanging up.

I've seen the Wire, the Shield, Flashpoint, Jag and Castle. I know all cops have assault rifles! They destroy street corners! High speed chases between terrified glass window repairmen and poorly placed fruit vendors.
