New idea: privatize the police

Edited on Sun Nov-26-06 02:29 PM by darboy
since the Repubs like privatization so much and think that universal health care is "socialist" why not privatize police?

Make all citizens buy "crime insurance" and if they get victimized then they have to pay to have the person thrown in jail and kept there. If they can't afford crime insurance or only inadequate crime insurance and this means they go into bankruptcy (say if there was a murder and they had to pay to keep a guy in jail for the rest of his life), then so be it.

It's gotta be better than the "socialist" government police department, right?

I mean except for all the criminals who would get away with crimes.


edit: :sarcasm:

I know maybe we can have Charlie Rangel introduce this awful proposal to "make a point" about universal health care.
