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.

but again, it's the credentialing problem, which is a hard one, and solving it is basically an entire discourse on philosophy of government anyway and this thing is 280 chars so fuck it.
