One of my favourite political quotes from LBJ comes to mind.
"You do not only evaluate legislation in the light of the good it can do if properly administered
But also in the light of the harms it can do if improperly administered"
Considering how often we hear about police serving a search warrant on the wrong address and ending up shooting people or dogs, I want as much oversight as possible over the police.
It is the police that are in the position to infringe on our civil rights the most. That means that not only should they be held to a high standard, but there has to be significant oversight over their actions.
