> So it's ok for police to guard a NFL game, but not the movement of millions of dollars of goods? The difference between the NFL game and the movement of goods is the number of benefactors. Many, many people want to see the game, thus it is easier to argue it lies in the public interest (public interest is not only a majority, btw.). If that movement of goods happens as often as an NFL game, I would argue it should be paid by the companies that profit from said moving. Now, if that company acts in the public interest (e.g., the goods are meant to supply the residdents of the city), things might change again.
