If that happened...soccer moms driving their kids to school would be free to do 45 mph in a 35 mph zone. That much is certain. And it must NEVER happen.
The cities would lose millions in revenue and the insurance companies wouldn't be able to raise people's rates on them for getting traffic tickets.
This would be pure Armageddon!
Just kidding...but how about something in the middle? Instead of a million fucking cops with militarized weaponry and 99% of them on traffic duty collecting money...how about half a million cops? And a "no kill" policy? And all of them wearing cameras on their uniforms that can't be tampered with?
I would think that would be a lot more sensible thing.
Cops don't "protect" my home. And they don't "protect" businesses. They only show up AFTER the fact. Unless they want to put a cop on 24 hour duty outside my home or outside of every business.
They don't prevent stuff from happening. They are the guys who show up after you call them and tell them something already happened.
As a society we like to pretend that they are somehow our "protectors". But common sense shows that's just not the truth.
They provide a needed service. But like everything in govt., it's blown itself way out of proportion over the years.
