One nice aspect of the de facto surveillance state is that there's lots of free evidence against mobsters.

And even the state-sponsored mobsters (i.e. police & military) get caught up in social media reports of brutality.

Although on this point they have to deal with a lot of false reports as well, with a video camera getting whipped out by bystanders on every routine arrest.
