“I believe that Federal Government should set up an agency … to cover all Licensing/Training/Enforcement. Presently the system is run by states, which have motives to do with revenue raising and ignore education and training (a lot of propaganda though).

“I propose that this agency have very strict guidelines aimed at excellence, and to prohibit interference or agenda hijack by revenue raisers.

“A Federal Body 'like a Highway Patrol' should be set up for enforcement, and maybe training. Police could transfer in/out of this body. This would keep the system pure from States revenue raising though Police Departments, and the willingness of certain senior police to prostitute themselves by being propagandists for the revenue raising State Governments.”
