I am yet to see that happening. Or to be more precise, there are cases of abuse of power by the police, but I am yet to see that happening in a systematic way. Furthermore, there is a difference between investigation and harassment - it is one thing to conduct an investigation of a group identified as high risk, and another thing to harass that group.

I do not think this is a real possibility in this country in any meaningful sense. If this country faces any real danger, it is anarcho-individualism of the I-have-the-goddam-right-to-do-whatever-I-want-and-do-it-in-your-face variety.
