Lots of military and law enforcement worship. "Lock 'em up and throw away the key". "Do as you're told" fascists. All true, except if they get popped on a DWI, speeding or other moving violation. Or they violate some other civil property code. Or their spoiled fratboy son gets caught damaging property on a prank.

Only then do they moan and wail about tyranny of a police state and wax dramatic about freedom.
