   Nothing prevents the public from demanding that legislatures write laws
   prohibiting 'cops' from using specific surveillance methods.  I was not
   arguing that issue.
   But generally, 'police' are able to do anything an ordinary citizen can
   do.  As long as that remains true, I think we should try to keep them
   as honest and unbiased as we can.  'Police's ability to selectively
   conceal evidence should be curtailed.
