Who wants to live in a society that puts a police officer “on every street corner”? Hundreds of millions of people around the world have revolted against the oppression that represents. Freedom withers in a community with enough police to put one on every corner. The dramatic decline we have seen in per capita motor vehicle fatalities since they peaked in the 1970s has little to do with police. Improvements in the design of automobiles and the proliferation of safety technology have made our roads safer. The advent of Uber and Lyft has kept many menacing drunk drivers off the road as well.
