I keep running into this argument in some of the Q's I've posed exploring the attitude toward different policing tactics. I think the logic condones the trampling our right to personal privacy and personal safety in ordinary non-violent situations involving the police---like minor traffic violation stops, having a few drinks at a bar, and the more difficult but serious constitutionally protected situations involving the rights of protest, free speech and free assembly over political and social matters. But I am open to rebuttals to my own developing position.
