Lie to police: Felony. Police lie to you: Doing their job.

Hit police: Felony. Police hit you: Doing their job.

Break into police computer: Felony. Police break into your computer: Doing their job.

I should see what the police pay for computer jobs. Everything extremely illegal becomes legal if I am police.

this is Norway, the police have 3 years of training, and don't carry firearms..

So it doesn't compare to the systemic issues you have in the US. Besides what are they going to do if you don't unlock...? Give you a fine?

It's called the state monopoly on violence.
