Investigative work is built on selective mistrust. The difference
between a state in which there are police and a police state is the
scope of that mistrust. A state in which there are police will pursue
criminals by using investigative techniques to profile suspects while a
police state criminalizes everyone by treating the entire population of
the country like suspects.
Some police states are smart, calculated power grabs. Others are dumb defaults. A smart police state suspects everyone because it’s a tyranny. A dumb police state is run by people who can’t or won’t narrow down the suspect list so that they are forced to suspect everyone.
