Recyclable Enforcement

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not excited about innovation, especially when such innovation reduces costs and risks to human and other life by making the world a safer place to be.  One such recent innovation is the hiring of non-living cardboard cops who, unless it is raining, are at least as effective as "real" cops in similar situations.  Some may argue that it is unfair to the cardboard police officers to not pay them a wage comparable to human officers, but we would like to point out that the training required to be a cardboard cop falls short of the training required for human police, and so the pay disparity has a basis.  Some might argue that it is unfair to employ low-wage workers who steal livelihoods from ordinary cops, but we think that the Bangalore plan is not hurting existing police wages nearly as much as it is creating a safer world, which is why we are putting our full support behind cardboard enforcers in many settings around the world.
