You know what would be great? If you could get a tax deduction/abatement for paying for your own protection. Obviously, from what you wrote, you don't need (or want) taxpayer supported law enforcement “protecting” you; you're doing it yourself, and I'm sure it's not free.
I don’t mind paying for taxpayer supported law enforcement. It gives the criminals something to worry about and they do provide ‘trash removal’, if necessary.
