I've just been reading about this Kickstarter thing, and I'm thinking we could do a project where we kickstart justice, like if people give us enough money we'll arrest way more injustice types at roller skating rinks and paintball arenas and all the various places the unjust likely spend time.

sergeant wilson tried this and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. it's a good idea

I've noticed that many of these "urban types" have gold teeth. Why don't we stop them, charge them with "resisting arrest" and then beat the teeth out of their skulls. It's not the treasure chest idea, but I bet we could still be sitting on a healthy pile of gold quickly enough.

Hey - how about we take this whole crowdsourcing thing to a new level and let people donate money for the privilege of stealing money for us on our behalf?

Kickstarter : Donate $10,000 and we'll give you a shiny metal Civilian Enforcement Operative badge that lets you play cop for a month! 80% of seized assets go to our department, 20% go to our new civilian enforcement operatives. We'll call them CEOs so they sound really upscale and nifty.

They'll do the work for us, and we'll stay here and play with this new margarita machine we seized from that neighborhood restaurant last week.

Set up a checkpoint on one of the roads that doesn't have a sidewalk. If they're walking fast down the road, that's jaywalking. If they're walking slowly down the road, that's loitering. If they're walking in the grass, that's trespassing.

Oh, lets just go into loansharking.

A better idea, payday loans.

First we ticket them with a fine for a huge amount that they have to take a payday loan to cover which charge a poo poo load of interest. If they do anything illegal to try and get out from under that debt we own everything they have from asset forfeiture, and if they can't pay it back we own everything they have from repossession. If they do actually manage to pay us back... we just fine them again until we own everything they have!

Your silence only incriminates you further.
Since it is real expensive to keep people in jail, why don't we let members of the community adopt prisoners? For a fee the adopter would be responsible for the prisoner's care and the prisoner would have to work for the adopter for the duration of his prison sentence. The adopter would be responsible for making sure the prisoners don't escape and providing them with room and board and the prisoners would learn valuable lessons about honest work. If the program became really popular, we could even get the adopters to bid against each other for particularly productive prisoners.

We already have a strong relationship with Yum! Brands from prisons, so why shouldn't we leverage that into the larger community? Perhaps a work release program to have prisoners work at the Doritos factory or taking orders at Taco Bells? We can pay them pennies an hour and pocket the difference ourselves.

They are already doing it in many other communities.

why should they be allowed to not get arrested for free. charge a month service fee for not being in jail or prison. then, if they don't pay it, we fine them, and also send them to prison, where we make them pay for being in prison.

Okay, Ted, we need to talk. Last meeting, you suggested a "handjob tax" on "enormous Negro fucksticks," which is, you know, already pretty weird. Is there something you need to talk about? This isn't a judging space.

Maybe the vic- I mean, suspect's family could be expected to pay entirely for that paid leave, as well as travel expenses? The wife really wants to get down to Disney this year.

I tried to convince the Public Works department to remove all the crosswalk markings so we could start busting more people for jaywalking, but those lazy fucks didn't want to just do their jobs. Maybe we can start just ticketing the hell out of the Public Works trucks? It's like getting to rewrite the city budget to move more money from PW to us!
