The cops disagree with you. Properly handled, logs are more than
just hearsay, and also contribute to convergence of evidence -- a
basic concept of law.

Further, the US Federal Rules of Evidence (Rule 803(6))
stipulate that logs are exempt from the Hearsay Rule
so long as the original logs were made "in the course of a regularly
conducted business activity."
