British town council strikes again!

[AntEater]

Yes, because here, communities do not uphold the law all by themselves.
While communities are responsible here for petty offenses, they carry out this duty under oversight from the respective state ministry of interior.
This british thing is strange because communal self-administration was originally to PREVENT the state from messing with people's lives, not to facilitate it.
Problem with communal administration is that there is no seperation of powers, as communities have both legislative and executive functions.
