Giving the functional equivalent of an HOA law enforcement powers is not going to go well

Hmmm...it seems to me we pay taxes in order to have a particular group of civil employees enforce our laws, but doggonit I just CANNOT remember what we call them!

They came up with a new idea! Let’s call it a “militia” for short

This is a very, very, very bad idea. Someone is going to get hurt or killed. So Karen Karenski shows up and tries to give a citation to someone peering on a park bush and gets her teeth knocked out. This is going to cost the city dearly.

Then we are also going to have the same personality type that populates homeowners associations who are going to prowl the streets looking for people to cite for things who are also going to end up getting their asses kicked.
