you know what would be a good 28th Amendment blanket prohibition on generating revenue via law enforcement fines can still be levied but the money is taken out of circulation

I like this suggestion, but rather than being strictly deflationary I would say that the fine should be automatically allocated to something actually good but not just funding law enforcement or any other government program. maybe fines should be replaced with compulsory charity

Reputable! The problem of credentialing is a hard one but solvable imo

i don't think it is you are absolutely, positively never going to be able to not credential the Policemen's Really Very Good Charity

I think that's a legitimate charity and if a person is judicially required to donate it should be an option, but not the only option.

or rather, as much as I have beef with most of what I see presently from urban police departments, I don't think they are necessarily corrupt and that in principle a charity operated by and for police might be a legitimate good. e.g. providing for the widows of fallen officers.

okay. but on the other hand, if fines destroy money, consider the incentive structure when corporate America has a motivation to self-police to keep the fuckin' currency from going deflationary

that gives them a powerful mechanism to manipulate the money supply via second order consequences and they can price their debt instruments accordingly which is horrible
