Then the dictator is missing the point. A successful dictator is someone who can manipulate the masses of pedestrians to rush on the palace... to cheer the leader (and to stomp on whatever political enemy the dictator has). A dictator who has to hide from the people is a poor dictator, and the life expectancy of such a regime tend to be short.
