To start, I would like to point out the truly outstanding work that was done by this author; I was able to look at the criminal court system, as well as the criminal justice system in a potentially differing way due to his in-depth analysis and proposal. Therefore, first I strongly support the idea that the criminal court system should, in fact, stop implementing the use of transactional procedures, exclusively in regards to law enforcement.

Even further specialized, there are diverse units within each police force, and all of these units have copious sets of policies and procedures that potentially are dissimilar from the rest.

We have the ability now, with technology, to develop a system that can sort, analyze, and calculate, etc. data that can be informative for judges, and specifically, Crespo mentioned the issues with warrants and searches and seizures. I believe that this is a great way for judges to see the end result of what happens when they sign that warrant, as well as for law enforcement to see what was potentially seized at a previous residence at an earlier date. I see this as a technological advance that can serve the justice system in an immense
