Local jurisdictions would contract with varied policing acadamies/philosophies based on local exigencies. Policing institutions would compete for contracts with many client regions and share worldwide data bases .
New America is peopled by the same people as Old America. That is, the people are as vulnerable to temptation, and are just as vulnerable to abuse. In order for game playing to be a valuable tool the players in both have to have the same vulnerabilities--lacking the ability to change real people. Otherwise, it remains fiction.
Our problems are not in our systems, they are in us.

I respectfully disagree. The problems are in both. Incentives matter, as do moral-cultural norms, habits and practices.
"We shape our tools and then our rules shape us. We shape our rules and then our tools shape us."
Our natures, our morality/cultures, our systems, and our technologies shape us.
