I want to be a policeman!

Police are cool. If I had my life to live again, I would be a policeman. You make good money, you have instant backup wherever you go and whatever you do, you often get to carry a gun, everyone treats you like a hero, and the government is always looking for ways to give you more power. But it gets better!

Want to drive your car at 159 miles per hour? No problem! You don't need to think up an excuse before you do it - if someone asks afterwards, just say you were testing the car. Want to beat them up? And handcuff them first just to be safe? Don't worry if somebody videos you doing it. Videos only count against people below the law. If you are above the law, there is always "insufficient evidence."

Do you want the right to demand whatever information you want from people? But you don't have to tell anyone anything that you do? And if you don't like someone, you can accuse them of something bad, but you don't have to tell them what it is, and they can be tried in private. Nice and neat.

What a cool job! Being a policeman is like being the Genie in Disney's Aladdin. "Absolute Power!" Only better, because the genie was not allowed to kill anyone. I want to be a policeman!
