I appreciate the response, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic but the operative word here is "nominally". While it's nice in theory to view law enforcement and the government as some kind of trustworthy body whose purpose is to serve and protect, in reality that kind of power is often abused. Look how long it took for bodycams on police to be used and even then, they get conveniently broken, battery dies, or just blatently turned off. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? and all that.
