The bigger danger is this:

But the police are fighting it tooth & nail (even the police are citizens)

"Only 13 out of 43 police forces in England and Wales have expressed a
desire to merge, says the Association of Police Authorities (APA).

Home secretary Charles Clarke set a deadline of Friday for forces to
present restructuring plans. He wants to merge the forces to as few as 12.

The authorities have "unanimously rejected" this, said the APA.

It says none are submitting full business plans before the deadline, but
some are presenting detailed proposals."

& even the pols are unhappy:

"Mr Wilson said: "It will make the police more remote and
detached from the average person.""

Then dear old NYPD (OK just NYP) will become merged with West Yorks etc
& then they may try & force them on us.
