What a ridiculous post. Police state? What do you want for an alternative? A police-less state? Go to places like Colombia, Nigeria or Chiapas and see how that works for you. It's very easy to trash the police because they ocasionally give you a hard time for driving at 100 mp/h or getting drunk and loud in public, but without them all the scoundrels and vile bastards would be wetting their fingers thinking about you and your loved ones.

I have nothing against police doing their job.... as long as their job is keeping people from murdering each others, chase the burglars etc.
But FFS, for example here they organize massive raids to inspect if kids scooters run 50 km/h instead of legal 40 km/h... OMG haha, then they cry for more money from us taxpayers

Plus they have much too many rights these days. No, no one needs my fingerprints yet dna unless I have committed sum' crime. They of course want that data crying it would help solve crimes more efficiently.
Not going to list all things that annoy me in todays police but hope you got the idea. It's resembling North Korea more and more every day.
They are needed of course but should leave us working, law-abiding tax paying people alone!!!
