That does include parking enforcement. Which is done through that half of Townhall. Oh yeah, that’s the other part. They get literally half the real estate of town hall which is delightfully unsubtle.

But yeah, remember specifically that freaking the cops taking on all of these duties, or having these duties thrust upon them outside of their control whatever version of this that you buy into,. Having a whole bunch of unrelated social functions being addressed under the regions of the police forces is the criticism, it’s not some separate part. Why, does parking enforcement or local security or non union road crews get organized and paid from the police department instead of the local government?

Over in Lynnwood WA, it takes a lot to give people speeding tickets.

Just imagine how much it costs to park a cop car on the side of the road and to have someone judging how shiny the paint on each car is.... Too shiny? That's a rich asshole, let him thru. Mat finish? 🤔 Could be a car enthusiast.Toyota with mat finish, oh you don't live here! Here's your ticket! Don't think about coming back thru here, even if they closed the road and this is the only freeway entrance road left!
