Picture this my Comrade:
You are now the State Police for a totalitarian regime.
Your job is to spy upon and persecute the political enemies of the State.
Your cover story to the peasants paints you as a hero, crediting you with protecting the people from the criminal element.
Dear Leader imports an unfettered supply of criminal element, so the people will continue to justify your existence, and even subsidize you with their tribute, which they are happy to part with to avoid the gulag. All Hail Dear Leader!
Some of Those People, the dangerous domestic terrorists, are beginning to see that the gulag is filling with dissidents against the regime, while the criminal element is allowed to roam free. Those People are questioning the true purpose of the State Police. This cannot be allowed.
Those People, the election-denying and science-denying vermin, are the ones who must be spied upon. The risk is too great that State Media alone will not contain them. Those radical ideas would be very displeasing to Dear Leader. All Hail Dear Leader!
Those People, the troublesome intellectuals, might be better served in the gulag. “Producing the evidence” is just a matter of revealing the fruits of your spying operation to the Right People. You know that everyone has something that can control them. You are very practiced at this. Judges and District Attorneys will do your bidding, and Dear Leader supplies you with multitudes of the most easily corruptible of those. This is child’s play. All Hail Dear Leader!
There exists an archaic rule of the regime that claims you are not allowed to spy on the people without asking a Judge for a Warrant. Since you control the Judges and “the evidence,” this archaic rule has merely been a minor annoyance.
But Those People, the filthy home-schooling constitutionalists, won’t stop insisting that you, their beloved State Police, are breaking the law. The State Media mostly protects the people from Those People, but why should the State Police tolerate this affront to Dear Leader? All Hail Dear Leader!
You own the Politburo. It is a beautiful thing. The spying operation that you perfected decades ago has them trembling in your presence. The Politburo will grant you permission to ignore inconvenient rules. They always do. Dear Leader says now is the time to codify the State Police Exception to those archaic rules. All Hail Dear Leader!
The Politburo was a tiny bit sticky about your spying on the Politburo. They don’t understand Dear Leader’s lessons about the greater good quite as well as the State Police or the State Media do. But they will. All Hail Dear Leader!
Upon resolving that one small hiccup, the Politburo not only granted you accesss without limits to all the secrets the people of the State possess, but the generous commissars also granted you a shiny new office complex in a better neighborhood! It warms your heart when the Politburo expresses their gratitude for their commendable State Police in magnanimous ways; and the people are happy to give their tribute for such a worthy cause.
Now you can do your important work of spying upon and persecuting the people in comfort and without restraint.
The path to the gulag for Those People, the treacherous mono-theists and anti-collectivists, is now gloriously without impediment.
The State Media will rejoice with you. Of course they will, it is quite simple to “produce the evidence” against Those People, the news-deniers in Non-Sanctioned Media.
It is a wonderful time to be a Comrade, is it not? All Hail Dear Leader!

Well said... it is becoming scary... I had someone ask me today if I was afraid because of my political activism. No, I said, come and get me.
