Police funding should not scale with the number of arrests they make—otherwise they have a direct interest in making more arrests, which leads to the corruption described in TFA. I'm fine with the money being seized by the state in the above scenario, but only after conviction, and never for direct use by the police.
- tptacek 3y agoI mean, I mostly agree with this, though I agree more with the first half (about police funding) than about the second half (about the article describing corruption, which it mostly doesn't). I think a lot of the issue here is a lack of coherency in the threads about inchoate crimes.
