The bureaucratic machine always comes up with more laws in order to justify its own existence.

  That's the thing. If they were laws proper, then we'd get a proper defense. Its the worst of all possible worlds: its a "bureaucratic policy" that was made without oversight, lawmakers, or anything. And it was powered because of some line "bureau will conduct appropriately the $thing" And then, you start getting law/notlaws, lilliputian 'courts' that follow their own rules, fines and punishments that are expressly criminal but for some strained definition aren't defined as criminal.

    And it all seems fine until people you don't like from the other side get elected. I'm not some ultra-crunchy libertarian, but I sure wish people would stop to imagine "what if an asshole has the keys?" when they think about what they want their government to be able to do.
