If you and your friend can't see the potential danger in the "police state act", then that's your problem not mine.
Why can't you tell us what freedoms have been taken away?
C'mon bud, it's a simple question
No, dear, the problem lies in the fact that you don't know what a " police state " actually is. You've been conned , gulled, and smitten with untruths. :-)
I haven't a problem understanding facts, nor in knowing what a police state is and isn't. You have so many problems, you need more help than can be given on a poltical forum. Seek some.
