How would you fix law "enforcement" - pigs/crooked cops/kkkops/etc?

You can't increase pay....no tax payer is willingly going to pay more local taxes no matter how much they vote democrat. And we already know republicans are completely against raising taxes.
I heard they don't want folks too smart for the job because they tend to be the laziest (something to that effect, someone else may know more/better info than I)
I think the only thing that should be done is an intensive psych evaluation as well as a cultural test. What I mean by a cultural test, is simply that you'd hope a cop that understands the demography and history of the area they were policing, would have a more rational outlook on the people living there.

- 3rd party oversight
- Pull officers from the community as much as possible, possibly even provide a pay increase to officers residing in the same zip code they patrol (though this could be bad because if you arrest the nuckle head up the street he may know where you and yours stay...though this would make sure the cop wasn't just pissing people off.)
- less x military who are FRESH out of the war and or provide some type of "re-civilianization" program
- pay increase. 50k a year for what they do ain't enough

I'd get rid of the current ticket system that has to deal with money instead it woul be a point system that would affect your insurance and ability to drive
That way officers will stop harassing people and focus more on keeping people safe...obviously dangerous driving will be punished more severely.
I don't think this idea will completely stop harrassment and may have I intended consequences if put into practice...but other than privatizing the police force it's a very difficult thing to really taper down on unless the county your in is fiscally able to raise standards of becoming an officer and have psychological tests be a parameter for entry.

Do you think its good for a democratic nation to have a private police force instead of one accountable to the people? A private police force would intend to make profits... do you think that just and equitable policing would come from an organization driven by profits?

That would probably work about as well as private prisons do..
Private prisons work well at producing profit for their executives and shareholders... in sectors of service where profit seeking would compromise our long standing ethical traditions, privatization should be avoided. A private prison that has a much lower quality of life, and is a magnet for new prisoners due to the power it holds in the democratic process, due to it's profitability is not a positive outcome by any estimation.
Pretty much.
Private prisons = More lobbying for tougher drug laws, mandatory minimum sentences, anything else that will lead to more people being imprisoned
Privatizing police forces would probably be even worse.
I never said I would privatize police force that's a primary function of government...that would have issues And is unconstitutional...a militia for foreign threats is constitutional but the likelihood that it would be needed is like .01 percent
