Depending on how relevant the objects are for the specific map, this may be desirable or not. Just as a point of consideration. Of course in theory who defines the filtering rules for the keys might add „police“, but in practice it takes a lot of time to establish a new key as standard.<br></div><div style="16px" text-align="left"> <br></div></blockquote><div>Sure, but currently amenity=police is used indiscriminately on many police-related objects, no matter whether they are important or providing background services. There are several instances of police barracks or warehouses mapped as amenity=police, although they clearly don't provide service to the public. So you basically can't rely on OSM to find a police station in case of an emergency. I think that's worse than maybe losing some other police facilities from certain maps.<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div style="16px" text-align="left">Some police facilities will remain mistagged, no matter tagging scheme.<br></div><div style="16px" text-align="left"><br></div><div style="16px" text-align="left">Have you already fixed such objects or opened OSM notes mentioning mistaggings?<br></div><div style="16px" text-align="left"><br></div> </body>
