private police force oxymoron

"just stop talking" is a very revealing argument used, mostly, when trying to argue against things one knows to be too obvious to take head on.

i own a private police force in post falls, Idaho I was security when I started out but then became a private police agency. I did this to so I could show that private police could do the same job as public police and I have been given the ok to do this but the power of traffic enforcement i have not been given. I still work off contract and work like a security agency in that way. visit us online: spartansecurity.webs.com

@mellisamm : I will, I appreciate the application, it's reality.... I also hope you do it the right way and for the right reason, I think some private-public police cooperation is ok, even a good idea (if super-ethical private organizations make themeselves evident). I stand by the problem of cyclic authority, and say one needs a final authority, like a supreme court, and a standard shared judicial system. cheers.

yaaa mann. thats what i was thinking. lol tip for the future though your argument is sound it would be better if you weren't high as a kite

@soldierboy425 you can think you know, but you don't know when I'm high.

@soldierboy425 btw, why would it be better... I don't care if people get convinced by my presentation or not... if the idea is sound, yo're welcome, rare on the internet.

I would disagree, as it seems many citizens/customers in a private market would prefer to hire a private police contractor that would contain their patrol to a geographic area. It's not like the police would be able to identify a paying customer on site... Surely brutal enforcement gangs would be hired by the super rich, but that goes on today. Here at home, we invade countries, torture war detainees... I mean, is this really better than the "good ole boys" keeping the town safe?

Well done, very sound arguments.

It's not primarilly sufficient force alone, enough cops, but their attitude toward their public.  They assume in a rich neighborhood a certain amount of responsibility, although certain violations do tick them off... specifically, annoying the other rich neighbors.

[pyrrho314]

that doesn't happen in nice neighborhoods.

nice neighborhoods surrounded by dangerous neighborhoods often don't have to lock their doors. And the police pick up the drunk teenagers and drop them off at home. The decaying culture is making even that harder and harder, but the fact is a certain kind of police protection works. The police show up and assert your rights with a process server or anything at all.
