Well at least I'm glad you see that the options you are proposing are extreme. Private companies weren't and aren't the example of ethic and moral values, and it isn't competition which will suddenly force them to be nice or operate in an ethical way. Just take the example of Blackwater. Or the security groups that already do what you proposed, in Joannesburg (Patrol the streets rather than guard buildings). They beat anyone up they dislike or is standing in their way, regardless if they are criminals or innocents. They have zero to little accountability to any public authority because they hold much more power and influence than those they protect. There was quite a good BBC documentary on those private security groups, a few years ago.

All in all, a terrible proposal which practically never existed throughout history, and with good reason.
