It is now, but when these things were introduced, they were billed as "non-lethal". I doubt many people have noticed the change in designation.

And I suspect the police officer had reasons. As in the comments, might be touchscreen, comparing something, showing drugs concealments... He'd have to invert the screen to actually type on that comp.
