I can think of other ways: "For example, one recent analysis of 911 calls across eight cities in the country found that 23 to 39 percent were for low-priority or non-urgent issues like noise complaints." https://www.vox.com/2021/4/14/22374196/calling-the-police-violence-alternatives https://www.vox.com/2021/4/14/22374196/calling-the-police-vi...

The number of new recruits keeps shrinking year after year and the number of retiring officers keeps growing. I just don't see another alternative from mass surveillance unless you have a homogenous, group first population like Japan.

- chaostheory 4y agoIt’s both, but it’s mainly due to the culture of putting the group ahead of the individual, respecting authority, and with a homogeneous population that makes it possible. The downside is that same culture tends to be more on the xenophobic side if you ever decide to stay in Japan.
