Your job SHOULD be easy.
Yet... There's that 4th Amendment in the way. There's that 5th Amendment in the way. There's that 6th Amendment in the way. There's that 8th Amendment in the way.
Four amendments that are there, pretty much, solely to keep government from speedily and easily arresting, convicting and incarcerating us.
All of the Bill of Rights are about making the job of government harder because the liberty of the citizenry was thought to be more important than efficient government.
So, actually, Mr Spokesman of the Large Police Organization: You are wrong.
Your job is supposed to be difficult.
You are supposed to work for it. Earn it.
DEAL WITH IT.
Liberty does not come without warts, but you're supposed to exist in a world where us normal folk are in charge and giving you duties we want performed. You're not supposed to be dictating terms to us and suborning our elected officials against us.
We'll, eventually, get those turncoats gone.
Then where will you be?
Can I quote someone whom you should be familiar with and emulating?
"[T]he power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect."
-R. Peel.
Learn it, love it, live it, Officer.
