lol what's the benefit of AI exactly? I'm not going to know if some random caller sounds like a real cop.

and even if somehow I could would I care that some cop is calling me and feeding me bs.

I also don't give a shit if they sound real or not. I'm still going to tell them to get bent.

The only numbers that get through my phone are in my contacts or Smart numbers, and I'm not even sure about commercial smart numbers.

If an AI cop gets me on the phone that's fair play, motherfucker worked real hard to make it happen and will still need to make an in person appointment with me and my lawyer to get literally anything besides knowing my number is active.
