One thing that comes to mind here is that on-demand private security with fast response times are common-place in high crime countries and cities (such as Brazil and South Africa). I'm honestly not surprised that people in LA are turning to this and I wouldn't be surprised if this catches on pretty quickly where I live (Seattle).

From what I can tell it seem like almost complete open season on property theft and damage in Seattle.

In short, I don't really blame Citizen for doing this, I blame the politicians for not providing an adequately safe or lawful city.
