I have no issue with voluntary funding of police. Property taxes are rent though. I don't know how else to look at it. I miss my apartment rent, I get evicted. You miss your property tax payments, you eventually get evicted. And probably still owe the bank something if you have a loan. I've seen stories of retired people being priced out of their homes by property taxes. Just because the area happened to become popular. It's disgusting.

I don't want paid law enforcement. Voluntarily funded keepers of the peace? I'm down with that.

Lol it's an awful enough job being paid. If anything, the pay and standards should increase. You ever seen a voluntary ems service vs a well funded one with high standards? Big difference.

I've seen both. Both can be very good. (I have family friends that are first responders on each side of that spectrum.)
