Guess how that's going to play out. The machine flags someone for review, the cop hits accept without looking into it, now an innocent is being swatted.

it has played out and that does not seem to be the case. the town itself is good about not trying to make the police a profit center. A cop doing this would likely face discipline or being let go from community feedback.
