people aren't rational and hold grudges and prejudices. Empowering random people to make life hell for their neighbors isn't smart

  In fairness, we already do this when we allow police to enforce the law. To be honest, police are people too. They are every bit as irrational as the rest of us. I'm sure they hold just as many prejudices as I do. (Maybe even the same prejudices that I do?) Police would, at least, have more training though. So there's that.

    Police have to adhere to well defined law enforcement

      And people have to adhere to the law, but sometimes they don't. Again, police are people. Sure they're supposed to follow the rules. But sometimes they don't. What makes police better is that they at least have the training. So they have the knowledge of how to do it right. Whether or not they do it right in fact is an entirely separate issue.
