Swedish police want to dismantle human rights. They want to change the laws to allow secret state surveillance of all children.

This is wrong in so many ways. What pisses me off most is that the police don't understand their own role in society. OK clearly they don't like human rights but it's anyway not their job to design laws. The police should not lobby to change laws, they should apply the law that exists. The parliament makes laws.
Grrrrr 😠

I was hoping I wouldn't have to do the "the police are not your friends" talk this early to my kids.
Does Sweden have a right to silence? When can my kids simply walk away from a police officer who wants to ask them questions?
I chose to move to Sweden in part because I enjoyed not being watched police surveillance cameras (big minus for the UK).
Now they are setting up recording cameras on the main square. I don't know what they record, or my rights to object or delete data.
