I remember discovering something like this in the first (?) Sim City. I must have been like 10 years old at the time. For some reason I had built so many police stations that the upkeep (was it 100 per station) was so high my monthly losses overflowed to profits.

It is only in hindsight that I now understand what happened there.

In my headcanon it’s not a bug but a feature. Once you have that many police officers most of them have nothing to do but terrorize the civilian population with civil forfeiture to the benefit of the budget.
