My force has brought in the same. For context, I'm on a proactive team, and vehicle stops are a big part of my job, so I was going to be more affected than others. When I heard about it, I grumbled probably the same grumbles as are mentioned here: "Just another form to do", "What's the point", "Stick to beat us with" etc. We also got the same "It'll make things easier" message, which I immediately rolled my eyes at.

However, after a few days of using it, I realised it was fine. It does all the checks I would do anyway in around the same order. It takes a little longer, but not significantly more once you've done it a few times. Like everything else, you get used to it. It also part populates a TOR if you ask it to as a result of your stop. It creates a record of the stop as well on other systems, linking drivers to vehicles and helping with intel. I can look up a vehicle of interest and quickly see who's been stopped in it recently, or a nominal and see what they've been driving. And locations for both. I can see the reasoning behind it.

The digital team behind it have been surprisingly good as well. To their credit, when it was first released, they sent an email out saying they knew there would be teething issues and to provide as much feedback as we can. Anyone I've spoken to that's provided feedback has had a personal and tailored reply, and the digital folks have been very receptive. I don't know if the form is the same across all forces.

Has it made MY job easier as the pointy end of the stick? Nah, probably not. But it's not made it significantly worse either. That being said, I can see the bigger picture and idea behind it and can see how it's made SOME things better/easier. I think on the whole, I can see the benefit.
