First of all I'd like to know who is supposed to save us if martial law occurs.
Secondly, I'm not saying it couldn't, just that by most accounts it isn't yet. In Eastern Germany during the 80s, most people were not under Stasi surveillance, it's the fact that they all thought they were that made it effective.
What follows is my friend's answer to a question I posed about how I'm supposed to trust a government with no accountability.
Quote:
No, you don't understand the process. This is exactly what I mean. If they are not absolutely guilty, BEYOND what it takes to convict somebody in the United States, they are released by our unit on the spot. There is no chance for the shady higher ups to get their hands on the EPW's. That only comes later, with HVT's (high value targets).
The evidence is purely physical, ie [hard evidence] etc etc. We are the average joes. We have no interest in top secret detaining for information or anything like that. If they do nothing wrong, they are released. Also, it is MANDATORY that pictures of the evidence are included in the arrest. If photographs are absent, the detainee is released.
If they ARE guilty, with pure physical evidence AND photographs to back it up, then away they go. And I don't give a **** where they go or what happens to them. Maybe if your friends had been blown up like mine have you would understand that statement.
All I'm saying is that you don't understand how the EPW system works, and you shouldn't pretend that you do.

I know, it's not freedom, but it's not quite fascism yet.
