Why? Townships wanted to control their area. Township supervisors ages ago didnt want a County entity enforcing law in their territory.

Personally the less LE the better the majority of it is harrassment anyway over stupid crap not real crime. LEO will ignore the real crime streets and go mess with joe blow writing tickets.

Why I have a shot gun rack with a old realistic looking toy shot gun in the back window. Yrs ago a County detective I grew up around told me that was the best way to be left alone by PA cops.........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 its worked for 30+ yrs now. Never been pulled over!
