It's going to be ridiculously hard to piece together the pairings to find scum because day 1 was likely a crap shoot of pairings as long 2 scum remain. And today is almost just as blind. Yay we know death is town. The unpaired was scum and lopen is almost certainly town and whoever paired the last person and not peaf. The only disaster that can occur is the cop getting shot without revealing info. It's almost backbreaking to town if it happens. You can tighten the noose or you can disasterously play with fire and potentially burn the town down.

Hypothetically what if the cop scanned Chris/Death and saw "no scum in Room 3" (or whatever it would say)

Would you still want them to come forward for only 1 clear? Even knowing the BG is dead and their life is probably forfeit tonight?

I don't consider that scenario to be very likely since most people were willing to keep Chris in POE, but just saying it might not be as clear cut as you think. Or cop might not be a full room scanner in the way you are assuming. It's worth considering as a possibility after seeing Peaf's role, but you seem really tunneled on "this is how it MUST work" and you're willing to sacrifice an unclaimed cop for potentially marginal gains.
