Ah, yes. The US, where you don't have so much surveillance... but cops can just take your money because they feel like it. British police also follow the Peelian principles, so they do fewer things like send SWAT teams to batter down people's doors and point guns at innocents.

I'm not really seeing how US government application of authority is better than the UK's on the basis of a vocal citizenry.
