Does anyone else share my view that our freedoms are being eroded and our government is slowly being replaced by an Orwellian styled "Big Brother?"

I watched Dispatches last night and although some of it was based on ridiculous hysteria I basically agree with what they where trying to propose. That this govt has become paranoid. That the police are becoming a kind of a politically guided militia. Even if they dont realise it, that is what I believe is happening. So slowly that people dont see it. What makes it worse is that the Police, in the main are wet behind the ear power hungry idiots. Some of them are very similar to the black shirts of old. Can they really be trusted with reems of powerful information such as records of our DNA and retina scans? People that can shoot an innocent man 8 times in the head and then cover up the truth?

I see all this and I think lazy fat police men. Get databases full of DNA and CCTV footage, get the scienists and the monkeys in the camera operator rooms to do the police work.
