Like anything else it is the misuse of a tool that is the problem. If they misuse these devices and things like SWAT the leadership that allowed it should be tried and punished. It is the ever expanding capabilities of the governments and the constant repression of the peoples ability to fight back that concerns me more than what tools these governments have.

It is the governments that are meant to be restricted in their powers under our system and not the rights and abilities of the people. If we insist on that we have no reason to fear allowing these departments to have those tools. They work for us from the local level to the Feds and it is time they are made to remember that and adjust their action accordingly or pay with their livelihood and even freedom in extreme cases. Trying to restrict the tools available is like trying to treat the symptoms of a disease and not focusing on the cause to prevent a person from contracting the disease in the first place.
