I think the tension of these things is good to think about.
I already think everything is done with optics at the forefront, more so than ever.
Especially as the state continues to grow in size and capability.
On this subject it has less control over information than ever.
strong protections ... I don't believe we currently have such protections.
If you're detained for unlawfully or for too long you can sue for damages, not just the department, but individual officers. Excessive force cases also happen all the time.
So legally, its nonsense to say we have no protections... and the anecdotes of the day lack substance... so we wax philosophical: How does the state protect me from the state?
The answer hasn't changed for millennia as the history of the world shows us that there is no singular state. States are always in contention with each other, and themselves. Every government has a shadow government lying in wait.
So, the only protection we ever truly have against state power is the state. The state fights itself as the factions within it seek more influence and power, and each appeal to the population as a force-multiplier of legitimacy. As a result, states are a product of culture. Our culture says separating children from parents is generally bad.
If it's not purely philosophical, then it's hand-wavy to just simply say we need to think about "more", so what's the prescription that every surviving legal system built over centuries has overlooked?
