Most colleges and universities have their own police forces, even my local community college.

  Also rail lines. Both being well monied institutions of great importance and given special legal carve outs since their inception long ago in North America. Feels like a historical legal anachronism is being abused when they have such exceptional power compared to other enterprises in today's day and age.

    Public transit systems often have their own police force because they cross many jurisdictions. In my area, the public transit system includes boats, busses, subways, trolleys, and heavy rail...normal cops aren't trained in how to operate in/on those systems, which can easily be lethal in a lot of ways. The system crosses at least half a dozen counties, two states, and has a diameter of over 70 miles. Stop making everything into some corporate-fascism nonsense.
