Liberal democracy is incompatible with a police state but it will get worse before it gets better.
There needs to be a digital version of "privilege against self-incrimination" [1] [2] but it seams like the governments won't legislate this without a push from the public.
The laws of our society are so complex that at each moment we are breaking at least a few. This also means we could be arrested at any point, by a corrupt official trying to earn extra money for letting us go.
Imagine living your whole life under the regime of airport border control section where anything you say / do can be misinterpreted by a border guard who had a bad day and needs to arrest someone.
