Though you should bear in mind that if you do vote to decrease police funding, they may respond by increasing forfeitures and enforcement of revenue-generating ordinances.<p>So now, instead of being able to drive 60 mph in a 55 mph zone without being molested, they swap out the signs for 45 mph, you get pulled over for driving 46 mph, the officer &quot;smells marijuana&quot; when you open your window, and you lose your car.  You get the ticket thrown out because the limit was still 55, despite the change of signage, but the judge rules that the cops still have reasonable cause to stop you, search your car, and seize it, because you were still driving faster than what the signs said.<p>Of course, the same could happen if you vote to increase funding.<p>The police are servants of the legislature, not the citizenry.  You can&#x27;t fire or demote someone who doesn&#x27;t work for you.
