Yes, because someone will see that person working for free and make it worth their while by paying them. While maybe this private enforcement will be better initially for taking some actions against the rich and powerful that wouldn't otherwise be taken, for day-to-day crimes, the quality of service will greatly decrease and probably lead to more criminality than ever since there's no one to stop people from looting and robbing and murdering. Whoever has the bigger gang will win and might will make right.

The way they corrupted the old system was by killing everyone in wars. It was much harder, and if we can’t trust ourselves as free men, then we can’t be free. Freedom requires righteousness and standing against evil and corruption, and some places will be freer and more righteous than others. Freedom isn’t standardized.
Further, if we continue to value bribes over freedom we will receive the fruits of bribes.
