    Any policing service which actually serves the people will not be descended from the modern day police. It will be a new organisation, with no association to the old.

      Okay that’s fine but there will still be police and they will still be policing so what would be the point. It’d be much easier to fix the current system then start over

        No, it’s much easier to make a new system. Because it’s impossible to fix the current one.

          Right, you should just go to a dimension where thats the case then 👍

            Dimensions aren’t universes, that’s a trope that was invented by bad sci-fi writers who misunderstood the membrane theory of multiverse. A dimension is just a pair of opposed directions, like left and right, or up and down, or future and past. We interact with four dimensions in our daily lives, and string theory proposes around 10, but the other ones are smaller. Membrane theory proposes that there are multiversal dimensions that lead to parallel universes. The dimensions are not universes, any more than a country is. Yes, you sail West to reach America from Portugal, but that doesn’t make America a direction.
