By your own source, yeah incarceration rates dropped for a few years, but are still over 5x as high as it was in the 70s, and is now on a sharp increase again.

None of that is encouraging in any way or makes me think police powers are anywhere near a reasonable level or have been curtailed in any meaningful way. There are only 4 countries in the entire world with higher incarceration rates, and being anywhere near places like Rwanda and Turkmenistan is completely absurd.
