Or sue them

Then you get to the problem where all the companies do the same thing. @-5K-

who chooses the company?

Coca Cola death squads killing pepsi terrorists 😎

@Capitán Alatriste I do? Or the business?

Just check on the american internet oligopoli

the individual or the town (mayor) ?

@MountainMan That's a byproduct of our govt btw

@Capitán Alatriste I'm thinking like individual streets tbh

So extremely localised

@Capitán Alatriste Do all the malls in your town have the same security?

what happens when you walk out of the "jurisdiction" of this private company?

you can't rely on the competition for help

they'll just see you get mugged and drive away

That doesn't make sense

Why not?

You forgot to pay up your Human Rights subscription... Sorry liberal <:kermit_spree:378719408438116352>

It would be easier to start a private security company though than an internet infrastructure company. More competitors would be available so the chance that these companies form a corrupt oligopoly would be lower

The person paying the security company is the PROPERTY OWNER.

The property owner is accepting the responsibility of safety of all customers

So the company is under contractual obligation to stop mugging on its property

But what if the crime happens outside of the property, or are you considering the person *property*?

It's still someone's property

A person?

No, the place you go to

yes, but you don't pay the police protecting that property, why should they help you when you're subscribed to another service?

it's like walking into McDonald's with a BurgerKing discount code

No no no, you're misunderstanding who the customer is

McDonald's is paying Securitas to protect all of its customers while on their property.

The customers buying burgers are not the customers of the security; McDonald's is.

McDonald's doesn't want to see people mugged on their property

Why not

Lol

ok, but what happens when you leave a protected area? What if you enter a private property with no designated police?

Then you get rekt

In the butt

And not in the good way

McDonald's is secretly hiring the muggers <:alex_jones:453626940021276672>

Inside job

And why wouldn't it be extremely inefficient to have such a localised police force? One for every street?

Well, the question is: how probable is that to happen?

Thats like walking into a building without insurance or an inspection. @Capitán Alatriste

If you leave the protected area then technically the hired security don't need to protect you because they weren't hired for that

Imagine there are 50 different services for one neighbourhood alone
