    That’s literally their job. I do not want my politicians acting as cops, and I sure as hell don’t want cops acting as politicians.

      Yeah — if you don’t like laws in a democracy, you have a solution — elect legislators that will create laws that you want. If they can’t get support for it, then you don’t have adequate support in society for rules that work the way you want.

      The answer definitely isn’t a police force that acts as an independent arm of government that disregards the law and decides what laws it wants to enforce. You wind up in a situation like that and you definitely will have corruption…from that police force.
