Procedure and integrity are in play in almost every aspect in life. The problem is that when you give absolute power, the ones who aim to use it the most are the minority who seek to abuse the power.

- umanwizard 11y agoAlthough I agree that we're heading this direction at a scary rate, it's an exaggeration to claim that the U.S. is already a place where this is routinely possible.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoThe U.S. is a place where this is currently routinely possible. It is not (I believe) a place where this is currently routinely done.
- mdpopescu 11y agoMost people did not believe, pre-Snowden, that intercepting everyone's communications was something that was routinely done (though they might have believed it was possible).

- mioelnir 11y agoWell, both evidence planting as well as using parallel construction to fabricate an intricate web of lies to present to courts as the origin of some piece of evidence are already normal. Just combine them, and simply lie about false evidence instead of correct one. Since it is already obvious that the law is not considered binding if inconvenient, there really is no obstacle to overcome anymore.
- donatj 11y agoBecause if they shoot you, they're viewed as the bad guy. If they frame you, you're the bad guy. It's all about managing appearances.
