Also, it tends to go out of hand and in the end nobody controls those who control us. Happened here a few years ago when about a seventh of the Swiss population had a file with the Swiss secret service.
That, I think, is totally correct and one reason not to tighten up the laws. MMI, it is all well and good with these laws 'to live in peace', but pretty soon it is the goverment who decides who the bad guys are, and who should be able to 'live in peace'.
