What a great way to shut up the masses, publish some bogus survey. Never
mind that the 4000 people they asked were involved in law enforcement..

I continue to believe that the only way a society can exist with this sort
of "watchful government" is if everyone has access to the phone
taps, cameras, and databases. The public requires this level of access to
be able to watch the watchers.
