Police

Patience

Civil society I suppose should have a police force/service. There are some nasty, naughty people in every society who will do their best to do others harm. So, for example, if I find my house burgled the people I would like to come to help me, investigate the crime and hopefully put the burglar away would be the police. Preferably they would do this quickly, efficiently and with due respect to me and mine as I, as a taxpayer am funding them to carry out these duties.

Rage

Utter bastards. They'll grab at any and every power they can, even in a reasonably decent democracy. British police are now seriously exploring the use of predator drones to monitor peaceful demonstrations amongst other things. How long before we find such drones armed with 'non-lethal' weaponry e.g. tear gas to be dropped on anyone a drone spots and its pilot decides is a potential menace? This technology is being introduced with little consultation and no accountability. Not good.
