With stuff like this, it only comes up when absolutely egregious situations arise and the public protests. The reason we have these “agents” is because until the 60s Philly had elected constables like the rest of PA. They were basically eviction mercenaries and the final straw was one selling the furniture of a destitute family that was evicted without cause and became a public outrage. This type of work is dirty and should only be carried out by public servants who answer to a public office that has the ethics rules of city government. Sadly the sheriff’s department is not really that either
