re: Do we live in a police state?

At the local level cops have always been bad and really bad beginning in the 70s when people freaked out over drug crime and elected all these law and order assholes.

Just look at the current list of topics being discussed even here:

-Texas man blows 0.00 on breathalyzer, blood test- still arrested, year later exonerated
-Wife slaps daughter, husband suffocated by cops

Or topics discussed nationally

-No refusal DWI stops with automatic search warrant
-Red light cameras with no appeals process
-Police using license plate scanners tracking movement of your vehicle
-NSA tracking your emails, history, etc without a warrant or cause
-TSA's excessive searches
The list goes on... It's all across the board.

At what point do people say enough is enough?
