Any examples? I certainly don't like that they're involved in any capacity. I'd rather the FBI just do some good ol' fashion police work to apprehend those traitors of democracy.
Police state against my enemies but not me and the good guys. It's all so tiresome.
I'm not the one you asked, but: Me, personally, I'd draw the line at the independence of the courts. If the courts are independent, if they can rule against the police for failure to prove their case or for procedural violations or whatever, then it's not a police state. If the police win the borderline cases (or worse, the clearly bogus cases) just because they're the police, then it's a police state.
Followup question:
Do you think public defenders are given adequate funding to ensure they can give proper defense to their clients?
Who said this?
