Their powers will go unchecked! And their power is even legally ingrained in the political system?! The government will be able to use them whenever and however they want! They'll be a new Gestapo, we'll be living in a fascist police state. Nooooo!

    I do not support the OP's proposals but can we at least keep things sensible?
    Something that is "clearly" so preposterous can be shot down without this drivel [illustrated in the aforementioned quote]

    Rhyfelwyr, you forgot deathsquads, concentration camps, illegal torture, deportations...

    Hang on, all have been set up by current systems.
