> you get a arrested for having a "very high score".

I was thinking more in terms of automated drone strikes, but yeah for the facade of democracy arrests may be the way to go for now.

Too expensive.
Drones get more cost effective as the kill frequency increases. Economy of scale
You can make it cheaper still by waiting until more than one target are in the same strike zone.

This of course only matters if you really care about the money. I assume that the large black budgets of the CIA and NSA are not really a concern to those that matter.

Ideally you spend more every year. That's the usual policy of government agencies, otherwise the following year you get a budget cut.
