Everything regarding everything government does is incredibly political.

But I don't see this as a states' rights issue directly. It is an issue with a large secret federal government (and stronger states or better yet, local governments, would make that less of an issue). But transferring power from the federal government to the states by itself has no impact at all except making the policies both affect fewer people and the government accountable to the fewer that are affected. That may be a win but it isn't by itself much of anything.

After all, it isn't like the FBI are the ones in the cross-hairs of the anti-police protests...
