I see no evidence of what you are talking about.  Despite the vastly
increased surveillance capacity, the instances of cops framing someone are
rare, comparing to the past, which suggest demilitarization.  Unless
someone is stupid enough to brag about their illegal activities using open
communication channels, which is no different than shouting about in
public.  They ask to be busted.

It is the critics who are becoming hysterical.  this administration is
remarkably scandal free, which is problem for the US political discourse
that thrives on mud throwing and bombast.  If they cannot find real mud,
they make it up.

Sorry, but I did not intend to offend you, if I inadvertently did, I
apologize.
