| I have no problem with my government knowing who I am and being able to identify me.
Torture for the accused? Confessions from torture are worthless. Torture as an interrogation technique is a lot more complicated, and should only be used if you know someone knows something (on the order of where a suitcase nuke is in new york) but is refusing to tell.
Summary execution is wrong. The only time people can shoot each other without having a trial is during times of war (and they're only justified if it is not the "aggressor", like US vs. terrorists in the war on terror).
Secret court proceedings. Private trials for private citizens, public trials for public officials.
Secrecy-- On matters of national defense it is 100% needed and I don't grudge the government the secrecy it needs to keep things working.
Bureaucracy-- Everyone hates bureaucracy except statists, and I'm not a statist.
Prisons-- I believe that keeping some criminals away from society is good, but I believe a lot of crimes, like drug use, would be better punished by fines and community service type stuff.
P/S states tend to centralize because they don't trust anyone who isn't part of their (the people in charge) "circle," so they put everything under the charge of a few collaborators.
Oh, it's really too bad, isn't it?
