text: would you like to see more police 'on the beat' ? looking at a recent question it seems that at least some of you don't. i feel the judicial system in the west is falling apart as it's far too lenient ( in britain at least ) whilst religeous intolerance, corruption, bribary, nepotism and a lack of accountability seem to dog the rest of the worlds judicial systems. i'm sure most law-abiding citizens would not mind seeing more law enforcement on proactive patrols. in order to increase the number of personnel, however, more funding needs to be placed in the department, which most usually means, higher taxes.
