    Default Re: What would be different if there was no police

    The main problem with private police forces is the same problem that makes them redundant as option. If we would have private companies offering law enforcement, how would we make it sure that each company would set standards and the citizens would get equal service from different companies? We would need to standardize their training and set up an institution to monitor these companies. Also we would need some sort of organisation to coordinate the efforts which would need cooperation of several local operators. So in the end we would have to create a similar institution we already have, in other words we would be disbanding and reinventing the police. So in the end if the problems currently are not in the organisation of police forces, why should we have to disband such organisation? If the only reason is that someone wants that organisation to be in private ownership, why dont we just sell the current police organisation to the highest bidder, thus creating a private monopoly of violence instead of public one? Any takers?
