> You fear the government doing something like this but the corporation already has. What difference is there? Please don't claim that the government has a monopoly on violence, that is certainly not the case.

Can you please give an example from recent history (past twenty years) of corporations forming a duopoly on violence?

Apple PIs accompanying police in their official capacity to investigative sites during their stolen iPhone 4 investigation comes to mind.

Also Blackwater, and the breakup of Occupy, which was a public/private partnership between law enforcement and the banks.
