This is one of the main problems with LEA's as it stands today, namely the fact that while many have heard about the mass privatization of the prison system, many don't realize that effective privatization of LEA's is happening. To me this is especially dangerous because the LEO's increasingly will end up failing to protect people from companies but will almost always try to do the opposite, in blatant disregard for their purpose and oaths.

Also, much of the workers rights we have today are because of workers pushing back against such tactics. I feel like the people have forgotten how we got to the 8 hour day we are at, and when we forget history we tend to end up repeating it.
