Yeah but they are going to intimidate and bully politicians that will pass those laws or force them to do that.
Might work in the end. All I know is that two small towns in my province tried to abolish the local police force and the two mayors had to be placed under the protection of the provincial police because their own local police was trying to intimidate and bully the mayors and the call centre workers.
It took a few years but the towns were eventually able to force the local officers into the provincial police except for the chief that was dismissed. He sued them and was able to get back in the force, with all the protests of the town.
The towns had no choice in the end but to have the same bullies as their policemen, even if they are now in a different organization.
