    In cases like this having a lot of departments serving their own intrests would be great, thats actually the part of bureaucracy in Norway that I like, they each just work on promoting their own agendas and when they conflict with other departments they get stopped. Having one department only focusing on law enforcement might want mass surveilance but they get stopped by the department for data privacy.

    I get spam calls from Europol from time to time where the person on the other end tries to convince me that I have done some criminal activity and should pay a fine. Funny enough, if I say indian curse words, they cut the call.
