I've considered doing this for years, but it would be a pretty large undertaking. I was going to approach it from a data analysis angle, comparing police spending vs population, looking for rapid revenue growth, crime rates, things like that. And while all of this data should be publicly available, as this article points out some towns don't even have a budget, and even if they all did there is no standardized format that a program could digest easily.
Vehicle citations per population? Sum speeding, inspection stickers, failure to signal lane change, lights, etc.. into one number and then normalize it per 1,000 residents or something like that per jurisdiction? Isn’t each jurisdiction public knowledge?

It would probably have to be crowdsourced, which could be incentivized via some form of crypto tokenomics model which is all the rage right now.
