“Police State: A state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the people, especially by means of a secret police force.”

That's putting it mildly.

Welcome to National ID, compelled compliance, victimless crimes, license, theft of the noble laborer's fruits, torture as an accepted interrogation technique, and neighbor spying/reporting on neighbor, etc., etc., etc.

The U.S. is a police state. FBI, CIA, NSA, BATFE, Swat, etc.

It's 1984 all over again.
