You don’t end up with a police state unless you first give government too much power. If we limited government’s power to apprehending and prosecuting violent crooks and frauds, then it would be much easier to contain police. Police would only have the job, in fact, of apprehending known or suspected criminals by this definition... ...Maybe if we didn’t have government intimately involved in virtually every activity of daily life, we wouldn’t have so much to fear from the police. Maybe if the police were only empowered to do the minimal — yet highly important — things that a minimal government would permit them to do, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about police brutality, police racism and all the other things which actually or allegedly threaten us.
