Just read "Bewre of Dog." Of the many thoughts that came to my (alleged) mind, one stood out. Police in the US RESPOND to crimes AFTER they have been commited NOT BEFORE. We don't want a police force that allows our behavior. They exist to find criminals AFTER the crime has been commited. It is up to the courts to address that illegal act and proscribe punishment to the perpetrator. It's the threat of legal punishment that serves to deter crime. Police serve to remove criminals from lawful society to face judicial punishment.
