This has never been the job of police, but of the much older institution of the sheriff (though today, there's hardly a distinction).

- parineum 5y agoI'm clearly talking about today and the future.
- jMyles 5y agoRight. So, the most obvious answer is to simply restore the institution of the Sheriff while abolishing police. An even better answer is to reimagine decentralized community security with all of the capabilities of an information age society - cameras, drones, etc.
- parineum 5y agoWhat problems are you trying to solve? I think there were a lot more very serious issues with law enforcement the further in the past you go. > An even better answer is to reimagine decentralized community security with all of the capabilities of an information age society - cameras, drones, etc. You're going to have to be a _lot_ more detailed when you're proposing something so radical if you want me to at all understand how that would actually work and work better than what we've got now. What you just described sounds to me like my entire community invading my privacy.
