Time Calculator in MDT

I am interested in having a time calculator integrated in the Police MDT.
Currently when you add charges the fine is being calculated for you and the calculation is even used to actually fine them.

I would love for the MDT to calculate the max jail time that comes with the charges and show a total. It doesn't have to do anything else than just calculate the maximum time given for the charges so you can quickly see what the maximum jail time is you can give someone.

That makes for a quicker booking process because we don't have to calculate anything ourselves anymore and telling someone what the time is they're looking at gives a greater chance of lawyers being involved etc. In my opinion it gives a great leeway of negotiating time or being able to get people in a more positive state of mind when instead of 50 months in jail like you said they were looking at they only get 10 (usually the case when the interaction wasn't toxic but just fun).

I think adding the time calculator can enhance everyone their experience with the police and enhance the police their speed with booking someone due to not having to search and calculate everything themselves (for those that go through the effort).

Ya I really like this idea depending on how much work has to go into it. Flipping back and forth from a charge list, doing math.... no big deal.
