OP Quote:Quote:
… the police have been known to prevent crimes in such a way as to seem draconian.
They've been known to "solve" crimes in ways that seem draconian, too, so that's a wash. Prevented crimes have no victims.
When the draconium leads to criminal activity by the police, then innocent people become victims. Hence, not "a wash". Of course, some police proactivity (?) is effective and not draconian. Something for everyone.
