Kids just say the funniest things don't they?

This story comes from the minds of some passionate children in our community… They had some questions about business and law and order and stuff , and the police and such… And they didn’t quite understand why things are the way they are… So we asked them how they would do it… And it wasn’t a bad idea really.

I also find it hilarious that I stole this story from a bunch of kids when it’s about police and justice. But, if you really think about it , that’s sort of what happens a lot isn’t it? Stealing things from our children, like a future… and.. their stories of course.

But let’s get into it… And yep… They needed/wanted to use AI to sprooce it up with icons and stuff or it wouldn’t be “nicely done” to them. You’ll notice where that starts.

(They’re also learning about the English language , and internet things and stuff… so, heck… why not right?)

So , Business and Police.

Instead of so many costs into finding truth and never being sure... Simply inject policing business into the system.

So these organisation would have complete transparancy when looked at from executive branch perspective. And we mean… complete transparancy. Each and every little penny and cent going in and out realtime… all just available for direct lookup by anyone , all the time, everywhere. What’s there to hide? Right?

You have a sworn in officer run any kind of business he wants , and reports anything suspiciuos from his perspective, while you have this view across all markets where you get someone sworn in to start a business.

You can either turn part of the law enforcment budget into a revenue stream... Or redirect government funding of stimulating the economy, which is what you were doing anyways right?

And customers don't need to know this at all... the only thing you promise as a business is that you'll follow the law to the letter, which is what the customer will be expecting of the service or product right?

Sometimes it's good to market that parameter... sometimes it isn't. It's just business. Most of the times that won't even matter. (and there might be a future where it doesn't matter at all anymore. Imagine the profit margins on that?)

And that's not entrapment...

it's just a GOOD business plan

But they don't have to be good "policemen"...

You just need good businessmen who then report and catalogue the crimes they see as a cop...

And then you can send normal cops ofcourse...

There need to be jobs for people who can't or don't want to do business see?

Wholesome jobs for once.

This paradigm would also greatly increase the data quality of economic activity. As soon as you have these kinds of organisations in all sectors , you have an automatic real time measuring platform about the whole economy. And it has to be correct right?

A division of "business police officers" who are primarily skilled entrepreneurs running legitimate enterprises, but with a secondary duty to observe and report crimes that naturally cross their path. Meanwhile, traditional police handle the enforcement side.

This is a fascinating hybrid model that merges free-market efficiency with law enforcement.

Let’s refine it:

How It Would Work

1. The "Business Police Officer" (BPO) A government-employed entrepreneur who runs a real business (e.g., a trucking company, a wholesale distributor, a construction firm). Their primary job is to operate profitably—no entrapment, no undercover stings, just lawful commerce. When suppliers, clients, or competitors attempt illegal acts (bribes, fraud, counterfeit goods, etc.), the BPO documents it and passes evidence to regular police.
2. Traditional Police Handle arrests, raids, and prosecutions based on BPO reports. No need for undercover work—just act on clear, pre-recorded evidence.
3. Job Creation For business-savvy people: BPO roles attract entrepreneurs who want stable government backing for their ventures. For traditional cops: More straightforward enforcement jobs (no complex investigations—just act on BPO cases).

Advantages

✅ Self-Funding – Profitable businesses offset costs (unlike traditional policing, which is pure expense).

✅ No Entrapment – Crimes emerge naturally from market interactions.

✅ Better Evidence – Criminals incriminate themselves in a real business context (harder to claim entrapment).

✅ Wholesome Jobs – Business-minded people contribute to law enforcement without needing "cop skills."

Potential Challenges & Fixes

1. Conflict of Interest Risk: BPOs might prioritize profit over reporting crime. Fix: Tie promotions/bonuses to successful crime referrals, not just revenue.
2. Limited Crime Scope Risk: Only catches crimes that intersect with the business (e.g., a BPO running a café won’t catch cybercrime). Fix: Diversify BPO businesses across high-risk sectors (construction, banking, import/export).
3. Public Distrust Risk: If BPOs are secret, people fear all businesses could be police fronts. Fix: Make it transparent (e.g., "This is a state-run business; illegal proposals will be reported").
4. Bureaucracy vs. Entrepreneurship Risk: Government-run businesses often struggle with inefficiency. Fix: Hire private-sector talent with profit-sharing incentives.

Real-World Parallels

• State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) with a Twist – Like Singapore’s Temasek, but with a policing mandate.
• Corporate Whistleblowing – Similar to how banks report suspicious activity, but proactive.
• "Bait Car" Logic – Let criminals come to you instead of chasing them.

Final Thought

This model is a self-sustaining, market-driven approach to law enforcement—one that could disrupt traditional policing by making it profitable, passive, and less confrontational. It wouldn’t replace detectives or beat cops, but it could massively reduce fraud, corruption, and organized crime in sectors where the BPOs operate.

Next Step: If this were piloted, which industries would you start with? (Construction? Pharmaceuticals? Trucking?)

We then took it a little further and imagine a ministerial position for this in the Government… The Minister of BPO affairs was born.

APPLICATION FOR THE OFFICE OF MINISTER OF BPO AFFAIRS

(Submitted to: Any Nation Seeking Profitable Justice™)

Opening Statement:

"I didn’t ask for this role. The role asked for me. When crime funds itself and justice turns a profit, you don’t need a ministry — you need a venture capital firm with handcuffs."

QUALIFICATIONS

• Founder, Policing Business™ (Self-funded crime reduction via compliant commerce)
• Architect of the "Wholesome Jobs Initiative" (Entrepreneurs run businesses; cops eat donuts)
• Visionary behind "Voluntary Criminal Probe Theory"™ (Why chase? Let them invoice you)

POLICY PLATFORM

1. DEPARTMENT STRUCTURE BPO Operators: Hired from Shark Tank rejects & ex-CEOs. Pay: Profit-share + hazard bonus (bribes are messy). Enforcement Division: Traditional cops reassigned as "Evidence Processors." Motto: "We don’t investigate; we just confiscate." Revenue Reinvestment: Seized assets fund schools. "That playground? Paid for by a drug lord’s speedboat."
2. FIRST 100 DAYS Launch 3 Crown Corporation BPOs: "Clean Construct Ltd." (Catches building inspectors taking bribes by being boringly compliant). "Pure Pharma Distributors" (Sells aspirin, records offers of counterfeit Oxy). "Nexus Logistics" (Hauls legal goods, logs smuggling proposals). KPI: 10 arrests per quarter per business — or the CEO-BPO gets fired. Capitalism!
3. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Sanction Evaders? Open a BPO bank in Zurich. Human Trafficking? Start a very ethical travel agency. Diplomatic Bonus: Foreign criminals sanction themselves when they walk in.

BENEFITS TO YOUR NATION

• 💰 Policing becomes a GDP contributor (not a cost center).
• 🕵️♂️ Real jobs for MBAs who failed at Uber (finally, purpose!).
• ⚖️ Ethical high ground: "We’re not entrapping — we’re just terrifically compliant**."

CLOSING ARGUMENT

"You have two options:

A) Keep paying cops to chase crime.

B) Let crime pay you while entrepreneurs run tactical businesses. I am the Minister this era needs. My references? A line of criminals waiting to bid on state contracts."

Respectfully submitted, [Your Name] Future Minister of BPO Affairs & Compliant Commerce

This article they made was discussed with some parents and other villagers , and basically the only uniformal response was…

Damn , that would really be good for business and I guess a lot of people would want to be a customer to those kinds of businesses for certain things , but it would be really bad for the economy because playing by the rules means you go bankrupt.

(And think about it , what that means, that a human can go through that sentence without realising how completely insane it is to say that. Really… go read it again , and do the math being implied here-

And guess what… The kids called those older people insane, and they said that that way of thinking is why we’re all in this freakin mess.

Some kid yelled out loud…

“So this just means I have to forget all rules and laws and just become an agressive drug dealer and thief , and pfff women… It doesnt matter anyways so I’ll just slap them around. At least they’ll listen then. And that’s what I have to learn to go do with everyone. Be bigger and stronger so I can just make people do whatever. Which is basically what you geezers do too right! … at least those drug dealing and stealing people can be honest about what they’re doing most of the time. How insane does it have to get before you geezers realize that just pretending isn’t good enough and that if the criminals are more honest than those of you who say but can’t do… It’s like you’re telling us that you never even imagined anything else even being possible? That there are only honest criminals and lying criminals… And the honest criminals are the ones the police is chasing? WTF!? “

as he stormed off

And honestly , it was hard to disagree with the fella.

The funniest thing after that was…

There were plenty of kids around that calmed that boy down , and about half an hour later he apologized to all the other kids for his outburst. And they could laugh again , and he could also see the error in his ways. We could laugh about that story they made together again…

But all the adults were still fighting… and none of them had actually said anything new to eachother in over an hour. The had no clue what to say, what to do , and decided to blame eachother, behave agressively and constantly repeat the same things.

Some girl asked in the group of kids…

“It’s difficult you know… mentally ill people , dementia and stuff… we all know they’re broken , but it’s hard to consider a mental infant to be a criminal you know? They just don’t know any better. How do we decide when it’s time to put our adults in that old-folks prison because they got too dangerous for themselves and the world due to dementia? Actual age shouldn’t really have something to do with it right?”

mmmmm … Now that might actually be a good business plan, some other kid thought.

We really had a lot of fun , while their parents couldn’t stop fighting with eachother.

Another kid said at the end : “At least it’s not us they’re doing this too for a little… Thanks Dominic!”

aaah well… We tried. :)
