I will not ever yield to privatized law enforcement. Its just begging for an uprising.
Just the thought of it pisses me off.
Why do people recuse themselves? Why would a judge recuse himself or herself from hearing a case? Could it be that if one has a conflict of interest that it is a GOOD thing to recuse oneself? If a judge was also a WITNESS in an investigation of potential wrongdoing, would it make sense for him or her to be judging and sentencing the trial of that investigation, or be in a position to either block or allow information that was in their OWN best interest, though it might not be in the best interest of justice?

The only thing missing there is a well informed populace that engages the system.
We are neither well informed, nor engaged with the system. We engage with the drama, the chatter...the system laughs and moves on.
Side note: it seems to be a massive conflict of interest for Uncle Sam to avail himself in education. A dumber populace benefits the federal government.
The timid sheep in the cities may tolerate that crap. The rest of us won't.
