The point is to inform a citizen when they see a cop.

What does a citizen do with that information?

It will have a deterrent effect also because I'm reasonably sure...that no cop wants to have the red tag for example on display everywhere they go.

What data gives you this impression?

So I do believe that some of them will tone down their inclination to always escalate to use of force.

This is the whole point of the system. Why would a patch "tone it down"?
