The police aren't the only ones in the equation, however. If law enforcement is completely powerless, then it's the criminals who will have free rein to violate people's rights and privacy. There is a balance to strike here, which requires open debate and deliberation.
- ok_dad 3y agoWhere are the police powerless? I’m scared shitless of getting on a cops bad side lest they find their baggie cocaine on me or something.

- ok_dad 3y agoWe’re talking about America in this thread right? I could name fictional countries if you wanted, too.
- Georgelemental 3y agoThere is no universal law that guarantees eternal order and prosperity for America. If it could happen over there, it could happen over here.
- ok_dad 3y agoThat’s a really good imagination you have, I guess, but that’s not even close to the situation today. If anything, cops have too much power.
