“stop crime” ads make people more afraid and make the police state worse

Can you explain this for me?

OP is pointing out. That historically police states. (IE states where law enforcement has been given to much power).

Start by creating fear among the populace. A population with an over active idea of how common crime is. Will be more willing to support governments that control them.

Which is is daft when you can simply look up the stats.

The reason there are so many posters is sure to political pressure and a marginal rise in figures https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8829ked1x3o
