“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Cops power tripping should be considered the 'Normal" I do and expect it in my area.
It's an age old behavior that would be very hard to defend against, despite the
fact that there is no sure way to screen out this type of behavior as it's more common
than people believe or admit to. When you live in a country that doesn't respect the law
the law enforcers consider everyone they contact to be a potential criminal ie; foe.
Get used to it getting worse not better EVER..........

Does the wide field of view help in locating targets?

We have all had it happen. You think you are lined up with the target. You set the rifle down. It appears to be looking that general direction, so you look through the scope, and, what the hell? Where is it? LOL.

I was thinking a wider field of view would help in that situation.

It absolutely can help! I think you answered your own question Think of it this way - you have scope A and scope B. Scope A has a 22° AFOV and at 20x you can see 9.4 mils from center to edge and then you have Scope B which has 26° AFOV and you can see 13.7 mils from center to edge - clearly there is an advantage with the scope that has greater FOV (you can see more at the same magnification). Sure, you can bring down the magnification on Scope A to "see more" but now you've lost the magnification which could help with PID in trying to identify whether or not that shape at 817 yards is a rock or a steel plate; so with Scope A you are going back and forth, back and forth... low mag, increase mag and back to low mag... but with scope B you are not flipping back and forth nearly as much.
