Yeah, the trouble with police officers is that they're ultimately not answerable for failure to protect your rights, but they enforce laws that reduce your ability to protect yourself.
The proper solution is the abolishment of police departments, and the introduction of competing security firms who sell the service of rights protection and criminal investigation. Combine that with private courts and you actually have a system that is responsive to the desires of the people, not the lobbyists.
lmao FUCK NO, do you want silicon valley, AT&T, Comcast, Wells Fargo etc. with judicial power? Because that's exactly what you'd be getting long-term.
The proper solution IMO is to put personal legal and financial liability behind cops' actions, to end any legal privileges they enjoy compared to civillians such as qualified immunity, to put the duty to protect back on the table and to dismiss any case with precedent if the body cam footage somehow goes "missing" or if it shows cops breaking the law in the process. Also I'd like to see obviously unconstitutional procedures such as civil asset forefaiture gone and legal consequences for "good cops" who stand aside while "crooked cops" do their thing.
This is why I'm strangely in agreement with the leftist stance on cops.
The supposedly "good ones" just shut up and carry the bags because team blue even when they're committing an obvious perversion of "justice".
