>they eventually start another campaign to allow use of the tools that they now have access to for less serious crimes.
Don't forget the part where the useful idiots cheer because "I hate street racers and package thieves" or "I hate cults and drugs" depending on the decade
People aren’t useful idiots for wanting to avoid being victims of crime. They’re rational. Stop trivializing the big negative impact street racing and theft have on people.
They are if they use it to rationalize giving government effectively arbitrary power over them for barely any decrease of crime that victimizes them.
Stop acting like they're using the dragnet in the interest of the citizenry. They're not.
