"Without the constant vigilance of fellow citizens, police forces everywhere are too easily tempted to abuse their powers. Do your bit for democracy: follow a police patrol and make sure they respect the suspects rights."
If accomplishing nothing else, the recent economic crisis and the Occupy movement have shown me that (for the most part) the police cannot be trusted. When given power, they have clearly shown that they will abuse that power to satisfy their needs. I don't think I would have to follow a patrol for too long before they started doing something wrong.
