I read this somewhere and it sounds plausible to me: a private police subscription. As-a-service if you will. They would do the same things as police but only for subscribers and with better "customer service".
Maybe you could also look at the same thing as: as private security + private detectives (?) scaled and commoditized via software and gigwork.
It‘s a nightmarish idea, don‘t get me wrong, but I can see it.

- foobiekr 5y agoI don’t think that they would do anything more than security guards currently do, which because of the liability and risk of prosecution, in San Francisco, is zero.
- Miner49er 5y agoI'm not sure why you're being downvoted, they are already offering/piloting this type of service. https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7evbx/citizen-app-private-security-leaked-emails https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7evbx/citizen-app-private-s...
