 So.... would you de-fund your local police?

I don't know if they do traffic detail work in the UK but they pay the local police here $100s an hour to stand around shooting the breeze and playing on their phones at roadwork sites. Clearly many dangerous criminals to be caught.
It would be better if the detail cops were actually good at directing traffic but half the time they're not even paying attention to that, either.
