I think bored cops are a much bigger threat to Democracy than most crime. It's ironic that the less crime and the more efficient policing the less free we become.

Indeed. I think people have been paying too much in taxes. Once tax revenue is diminished, all of this wasteful liberty-harming spending is supposed to correct itself. Regular workers don't have much of a choice in how much they pay, but businesses do.

Got to get rid of frivolous seizures/fines too. Back in the '09 crash police in my state were ticketing people like crazy, for even the tiniest infraction, due to reduced tax revenues. They'll never willingly give up their salaries so long as a single route is left for them to suck up the cash.
