Now you mention it, I only really see police cars around here - quite rare to see police walking.
I guess this is an effect of having built a digital panopticon. As pretty much everything we do leaves a digital trace and as one is oblivious to being observed (with observation potentially occurring in the future as automated agents run over data) the potential scrutiny changes behaviour. And that in turn allows for a decrease the number of police required to be physically present.
