We dont even really need to worry about that here yet. For the most part our police are still traffic ticket writers and tax collectors, with a good portion of them being tiny women. The area i mentioned that had a 8.8% property tax increase has a population of around 4000 people. Theres no reason for them to spend so much on policing.
