Something like what you see in "The Ungovered" just wouldn't last very much past the first serious dispute in a community. Most police type actions happen after the fact. If there's no adjudication process that anyone's required to follow, then what good are the services? They don't stay in your house to protect it while you're gone, or walk with you to keep you safe on the street. You might as well save money and spend it on good weapons and security features for the house. Brian -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
