Sounds like Texas. Expose corruption in the local police forces, go to jail. Sort of like those folks up in Boston who were arrested for making cell-phone-camera recordings of police beatings and posting them onto YouTube.
Hold it, we're having penis-measuring contests over whether the U.S.A. or Russia is more of a police state? Whoa, that's a contest in which there *are* no winners... well, other than jackbooted thugs, but we already knew about that.
