In Victoria we have worsening crime.
We have drunks, with no respect for the Police, we have bashings, racial incidents and any number of smaller but just as dangerous crimes.

We currently out source our revenue raising law enforcement, ie: speed cameras.
I am not against this type of revenue raising, after all in theory only the guilty get fined.
We have laws for a reason, right now the police are in a position where they are having to choose or have “blitzes” on crimes, rather than enforcing all the laws.

Why do we have laws, have law enforcement officers and then be put in a position to choose if we enforce them?
Why do we have the laws in the first place then? Lets just get rid of the laws we are not going to enforce. Save confusion.

In all seriousness, we have laws for a reason, they are there to protect the wider community or the individual. Our government has gone to a lot of trouble (at some stage in history) to create these laws, so they really should be enforced.

We do not have the resources to enforce our laws.

The only solution is to increase employment and double our Police force.

This would do so many things:-
1. Provide public confidence
2. Provide greater police presence
3. Enforce our current laws, in our commercial world this would also generate revenue (on a Police per capita basis they would generate a lot more per year than they would cost, so therefore they would be cash flow positive and self funding)
4. Reduce Crime, what a novel idea
5. Reduce car accidents, by doing the simple things and ensuring that drivers are driving well and cars are roadworthy.
6. Reduce night crimes, such as bashings, etc in the city, by having a dramatically increased police presence.
7 etc….. What can you think of?

So in summary
* Double the police force
* Enforce the laws
* Be cash flow positive
* Have a better society

Why would you not do it?
