Law-enforcement agencies in the UK, to name one relatively liberal country, had no qualms about using their anti-terrorism tools to track and arrest minors during, after, and even before climate change protests. "Think of the children," indeed.

Every tool we give cops has to be measured in two ways:

- What's the best case for this tool to be used? - What's the worst case for this tool to be used in?

and then the disparity between the two must be examined. In most cases, I would say it's not worth giving many of these tools to cops.
