The worry, though, is that the state grows too powerful. A lot of things in our society are built on the foundation of curbing state power (it's actually about curbing absolute power - the state is part of the solution to that). Constitutions serve that function. Every time we let a state erode those kinds of protections we take another step towards the state gaining more control. That usually doesn't end well. Countries that were part of the Soviet Union are still recovering 30 years later. Speaking of the Soviet Union, you have to remember that it was "law enforcement" that carried out the oppression by the government. Limiting law enforcement seems reasonable to me.
