Excess power is the root of this problem is it not?
It's reductionist, but our society is structured around the idea of limiting powers (ie violence) to prevent exploitation. Limiting law-enforcement power, for example via civil courts and not secret ones, as it has been done for a century before this decade, was very sufficient.
This is the end result of letting the state give itself more power at will, with a faux-democratic process to justify it.
