If there is 2 million people all doing the same crime, then maybe? What would you solution be? Jail people for multiple years until their case is decided?
I don't know what the solution should be, but it's going to be this:
- Private militia getting paid per head taken off streets (check, already)
- Said militia will start taking protection money
- Everyone will realize ANYONE, citizen or not, can be taken repeatedly
These "joyrides" in jail for citizens will start as a couple of days of confinement as a harassment tactic. It will end in one of two ways - either Russia/Iraq/Syria style exile and torture camps. Or in Mexico cartel style, fully privatized and decentralized operations. The latter if the Federal Government keeps a light touch approach. (Which is very useful in itself, it can be used to foster a Wagner like extrajudicial force.)
