I had a conversation with someone from a country that does this type of thing. He said that false accusations are his main problem with mob justice.

  I remember a mob going to assault a house in Argentina because a man was accused of molesting an elementary school student. The mob arrived angry and yelling and started vandalizing the house. A man tried to escape the house and he was caught and beaten. Took a bit for someone in the mob to say that was not the accused man. The mob had the wrong house.

    The same thing happens with an actual police force, though. Too much adrenaline and the "shoot first, ask questions never" mentality.

      No! When this same problem happens to the police, it is standard practice to sweep it under the rug and provide some excuse that lets everyone know you're on the side of the Government. It is only when we see this problem in the private sector, that we are then allowed to comment on how this is a problem and therefore private police can never work. /s
