Jeffrey Tucker: Police Work Has Become a Racket

“Did I get in trouble for endangering people, meaning that my citation improved the social order by goading us all into safer behavior?  I don’t think so.  I’ll tell you what happened: I was taxed, which is to say I was robbed. This seems to be the major function of police work now, raising money for the government. In fact, it is something that police themselves have suggested as a way of forestalling budget cuts.  Police Chief Magazine suggested after the 2008 financial crisis a way to ‘help the survival of a city and maintain or expand police service through generating new revenue streams as a proactive approach to meet the fiscal crisis of today and the uncertain future of tomorrow.'”
