@genremags8317 Tell me, whats wrong with a "police state"? What are you scared of if you dont commit any crimes?

@Sleepyirishcoffee Thats not the definition of a "police state". Thats all in your mind. Police state just means the state is controlled by a police force. Firstly, thats not true. The police is controlled by the government. Which has a set of laws they must follow. They dont have "ungodly" powers. If there were anything unjust going on, they can be sued or atleast have the responsible person fired. Secondly, you cant just be "locked up" simply from an accusation without some sort of evidence. If anything, "detained" is the word, and that is temporary. And there must be sufficient evidence that said person is a suspect. Lastly, "limited freedoms to do things" is subjective. People that reside in these so-called "police states" would argue they have the freedom to do whatever they wished to do. You think people that live in such a safe society would want the "freedom" to bear arms or "freedom" to speak ill about their leader? They dont even think about such things. Some countries have "freedom" to drink or get tattoos in their early teens. If a country cant do that, does that mean they have "limited freedom"? And you say you lived in a "police state" before. Just because that country was a "police state" and you experienced something terrible, that doesnt mean all "police states" are like that. Likewise, Im sure many people would experience terrible things in democratic countries, like police brutality etc, does that mean democratic countries are terrible? What you dont like is corruption, not the model of governance.

"I believe in solely the freedom of speech and expression, a basic human right" There is no country in this world with absolute freedom of speech. None I tell you. None. "Now the police state where I lived, you could go to jail for criticising the government" If that is the law of the country, then respect the law of the country. As a foreigner you should be extremely weary of such topics when visiting other countries. "There is no justice in that country, if you wanted to sue someone, it is next to impossible without money" No justice is a bit extreme. Sounds like a heII hoIe if theres no justice in that country. And of course you need money to sue someone. Lawyers cost money afterall. "In most states they provide pro bono lawyers and judicial help for the poor." Its volunteer work. Its not enshrined in law. "My own mother was..." Yeh that sounds like a heII hoIe. May I ask what country that was? But yeh. Like I said, corruption is the problem, not the model of governance. If it was simple the model of governance thats the problem, then Singapore would be a heII hoIe too. But its not.
