They could stop taking your calls, but that's better than being thrown in jail or having your home confiscated for not paying taxes. And also, those who have an issue with corruption in their local police department could choose to not pay taxes that support the cops and instead hire a private security firm, or form a local gun group.

If the police stop talking my calls, what is to stop the local tax man from beating me up and taking all of my stuff as taxes? Do I still get the protection of the courts and laws?

Also: Do people who don't pay taxes, e.g. homeless, unemployed, destitute, not get the benefits of police protection?

The police are the tax man. But we would still have self-defense so we would not have to submit to a thief. If you don't want to pay for the courts and the justice system then no, you would not be entitled to use that justice system.

It's the government that makes the rules, they decide to make people homeless for not paying property taxes, and to charge sales tax on food, even for the destitute. In my city this winter a homeless person was bothered by the cops, they stole his blanket, and then he froze to death where they left him outside. Ask anyone who's been homeless if they fear the police or not.
