The nationwide &amp;quot;cash for kids&amp;quot; scandal occurred in a small city in Philadelphia. Pasco County, whose largest city is less than 20,000 in populace, literally collected lists of children&amp;#x27;s names and families for extra surveillance under the assumption they would be future criminals regardless of actual criminal history. Sundown Towns, a notion where hate crimes are effectively legal after dark, were enforced by local law enforcement (i.e. the law enforcement were lynching black people).&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s no reason not to believe that law enforcement everywhere can and does turn dangerous to the local population without stringent education, repercussions for bad behavior, and transparency.</text></comment>
