privatizing the police

If it means they aren't protected by the crown and will therefore be held to account for the same rule breaches as any other member of the public, then i'm all for it.

I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army,
I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army,
I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army.

I am a working for securicor,
Take the money and come back for more.
I want to do it cause I know I should,
For the customer and the common good.

I walk around with a big alsation,
He'll re-arrange you with no provocation,
And I'm the bugger who has got the lead,
You'll have to be bright if you want to get at me.

Securicor cares. Securicor cares.
Securicor scares the **** out of you,
Do you want to come closer?

I block the pavement with my club and hat,
I deal in money that you can't get at.
You want to use me cause I'm up for rent,
Tough ****, cause I'm real busy.

You ought to know me cause I've been a cop,
Out at the army where I learned a lot.
Some kids still chuckle when they see my van,
But it's not all money sonny, you want to come closer?

Securicor cares. Securicor cares.
Securicor scares the **** out of you,
Do you want to come closer?
Do you want to come closer?

Well I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army,
I'm a private in a private army, I'm a private in a private army,
I'm a private in a private army.

So this would mean that the 2 dickheads that robbed my house, that both have history and we and the police know they did it, could be detained and questioned without 'actual evidence' or the need for a search warrant? Sounds like a ****ing good plan to me.

The level and quality of service should be all that matters, not who provides it. There are **** providers in both public and private sector. By the way, it's been happening in Essex for around a year already.

Bollocks Bruce. There's some stuff you simply shouldn't be outsourcing and police is one of them.

Its not a simple question of economics. Its ethics and what's right for the people, not just the corporations.

Why? The police don't make the law, they merely enforce it. The judiciary ensure the law is correct, and the regulators ensure whoever is enforcing the law is doing so properly.

This idea that companies are just out to fleece folks is really out of date. Of course you'll get a few like that, but if a customer isn't happy, they move. That's a much better way of keeping them honest than you get with governments.

There's also this strange notion of ethics amongst people too. Do you really think that if one day a copper was state employed he'd be honest and virtuous, and the very next day if a company employed him he'd be bent as a nine bob note? That's a pretty naive way of looking at the world. You only have to look at how deeply the police were involved in the phone hacking stuff to laugh at this suggestion that state police is above it all, without looking at all the secret police forces in action in various dodgy states around the world.

Your employer isn't what makes you ethical (or not)
