What if that meant that people could fire their police department and replace it with a different one if they didn't like the way it operated?

[aniforprez]

IS that in any way feasible or realistic? I don't ever see this even being possible considering the police department is not only going to have more resources, it is in their vested interest to stay in power and are only going to be more aggressive. This seems like a terrible idea

That would depend on exactly how things were set up, but we do it with politicians who have all the same bad incentives to keep power.

And how would they collectively decide whether to fire the police or not? Maybe via.. voting?

[Teever]

Do you have any examples of societies where this is possible through a privatization mechanism?
