You read it wrong and frankly don’t get it. With the limited resources they have, it only makes sense to pursue the most egregious offenders for complex crimes.

Enforcement is like fixing shipped code - expensive and difficult. Effective enforcement shapes people’s risk assessment and behavior. You need to work the middle of the bell curve so that people believe there’s risk.

It’s funny… the people who push the “starve the beast” agenda want to “back the blue”, as long as they are looking in the direction they prefer.

This just sounds like a dime a dozen Libertarian attitude


Libertarians are not against private police though.

With few resources the wrong people are targeted and I think that’s well established

With more resources, there’s every reason to believe that more of the wrong people will be targeted. Why would you believe otherwise?
