Yes, there is definitely abuse on local levels, but the abuse is extremely localized and cannot grow outside of a small sphere of influence, which don’t get me wrong, sucks for the people under that influence, but as long as they have the free right to leave its Okay, because you will have corrupt areas competing for people with non-corrupt areas and people will generally want to live in a non-corrupt area. If my city police are corrupt, and I move 20 miles to the next city, they no longer have influence over me, whereas if the US government is corrupt, then anywhere I go within 3,000 miles is still under their influence.
