No, variable costs are never sunk. More checks means more people doing checks and more people costs money.
Enforcement was slacking off anyway, encourage them to do more enforcement for free
Not more...better. It's possible sometimes, to achieve more with the same resources.
Procecution: see enforcement.
Variable cost. More offenders means more prosecutions, means more prosecutors.
Incarceration: jails already exist, so checkmate
Variable cost with some fixed elements. Yes the building exists, but more inmates means more food, water, and utilities are consumed by that prison. It also means more guards.
Beat you at your own game.
You wish. A shithead pussypants cop walking around with his dick in his hand costs the same as a dedicated, well trained cop capable of action. What are you missing.
