  • I think even in an anarchist utopia, people might accidentally create a hierarchical / police like institution to deal with particular issues. But your example sounds more like current day private investigators / investigative journalists, who occasionally get tasked by their community to do police investigator things. I wouldnt really call that a police force.

    I think the more relevant thing to me would be, what additional information are they able to access, why are those actually stored in the first place, who can normally access those etc. Because that might actually be the thing that would be the actual target of bad actors and those that want to have power over others.

    Edit: Ah yeah for me it passes the vibe check for something that anti authoritarians might implement to deal with a serial killer or something, especially after they abolished the police.
