I'd also like to know who'll be policing these "private" roads. Will the companies pony up the cash for their own police, or will government-funded police be used? This whole thing reeks when you realize there's no real privatization going on at all. But, this idea will no doubt be picked up by other states as they try to squeeze the last drops of blood from the stone.
Not sure what you mean: are you suggesting that the police should not respond to a shoplifting call at Wal-Mart because Wal-Mart owns or leases the property?
