Would cops get paid a commission per arrest? Jesus hates the Yankees |

Probably not. It's not exactly like making an insurance sale, nah mean? That would mean that there would be no cops at all in low crime areas. They would be all hanging out in high crime areas all the time trying to get paid. That's nice and all if you live in a high crime area. But for the rest of us, that would mean no police protection. Also, a cops job is not all "cowboys and indians" all day. There are alot of quality of life calls that do not result in an arrest. Say good bye to those. No dough? No show. As the great warrior-poet Ice Cube once said: If the day does not require an AK......It is good. |

| If they got commission per arrest, they'd all be hanging out in high crime areas. Get paid and get to do the "cops and robbers" thing! Best of both worlds for the cop mentality! I sort of like this concept of Beesteboys!!! |

If it was me, I'd be hanging out in the low crime areas and framing suckers. It's kind of like speed trap quotas, you know they aren't going after the random AHole on the highway, they are going after people going 39 in a 35 as they are going down a hill. Jesus hates the Yankees |

no. then again it would depend on how the contract is written. The red light camera companies get a sweet cut of that action. |

We already have privatized our national law enforcement and they have a budget every year of about 680 billion a year which is on track, as usual, for a 17 per cent increase. And that budget is before you get to things like the CIA, Homeland Security, Nucluear weapons research, the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afadaffyganystan,etc. That is 680 billion plus every year. But health care reform that would cost 800 billion over ten years, hell no we cannot afford that. Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

Officers are paid overtime to testify in court. This is one of the reasons you're hearing more and more about false arrests for DUI. Add to that little tidbit the awards and dinners given out by the anti-alcohol fanatics at MADD for making the most DUI arrests (not convictions mind you,just arrests)and you're working on a real recipe for disaster. Thank God the majority of our officers are dedicated. www.ridl.us |

It is your fantasy scenario, do you want them to get a commission?

| What if you didn't have enough money to afford police response as your car was stolen or your wife got raped in the other room by an intruder? Yeah, this is some world you envision, Moonie.

"they'd be hanging out in high crime areas...Get paid and get to do the "cops and robbers" thing!" Get paid by who? The poor sucker just made poorer because just he got his lat $10 stolen? The wealthy would have all the cops lined up at the borders of their neighborhoods, paying "insurance" (kind of like the mob used to do/still does,) while the poor neighborhoods would police themselves (kind of like it is now, but with even greater collateral damage.) |

Where do you live? Don't you think that the criminals would migrate to the unpatrolled areas and rob from those homes/businesses? Then again, you're an idiot, right?

Blackwater is scary, it's frightening how they are completely unaccountable in Iraq. Who knows how many cars they'd hit and women they'd rape here? Jesus hates the Yankees |

yea, I mean its happening over there now, but who regulates these big security firms. at some point its gonna be nearly impossible to (assuming they are all over the major cities of the us). You think the blue wall was tight, I can only imagine how they'd handle "inside issues" people vanishing all over the place and no one looking for them other than maybe their families. sounds like a sci-fi thriller of sorts " Civilazation exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." {Will Durant} |

| One of the guys that I worked with at the sheriff's office went to work for them. He got around $250,000 a year in pay, but he was shot and killed and he left behind a wife and little kid. That's kind of the risk you take. |
