I am again amongst the people calling for defunding the police. To be clear, that does not mean getting rid of police. It means diverting money to invest in community programs - one such program would be conflict resolution. The police should not be involved in a dispute about transferring a title. It would be actually helpful for the police IMO - giving them more time to focus on more serious crime.
