Correct course of action is to disband the police and create well-regulated militias (regulated by the people themselves, not the state).

The vast majority of people in smaller, more rural areas are 100% happy with what's going on.

What you're suggesting would mean that any time you'd drive through a new municipality/town/village, you'd have to learn a new set of rules and laws. You'd end up with "legal" lynchings in some smaller communities. It would be absolute chaos.
