Like I said:
--- Quote ---It's one of the countries with the most police, most authorities, agencies, most surveillance, most laws & regulations.

Of course I do not compare you with dictator regimes, like N.Korea, Iran, prev. Iraq, etc, but for a democratic country it seems that U.S. is a very regulated country.
Most Europeans would probably say that U.S. seems like a more closed, stricter and restricted country than most European countries..
But then again, U.S. people seem to believe that they are the freest country in the world, so I dunno..
I'd like to think that the average European knows a great deal more about U.S, than the average U.S. citizen knows about Europe, but it's only what I seen/heard, so I can't conclude.

Norway has more police per capita than the US.

Norway is more taxed than the US
CCTV cameras aren't nearly as popular here as in the UK, and I'm not sure what you mean by agencies and authoriteies.

Regular police yeah.. ?
Doesn't measure FBI, CIA, DEA, Foreign police/affairs, secret services etc. all that shit y'all got.. can't even name them all.
With authorities & agencies, I meant e.g. the ones mentioned above ^^ and all that other crap.
I bet you can't even mention all the different divisions of authorities and law enforcement blah blah you got.

CIA doesn't work inside the US.
Secret service protects the president, and finds counterfeiters, Norway doesn't have something like this?
Drug enforcement agency does just that, Norway doesn't have anything like this?
The FBI protects "the U.S. from terrorist attacks, from foreign intelligence operations, and from cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes; combating public corruption at all levels; protecting civil rights; combating international and national organized crime, major white-collar crime, and significant violent crime" Norway doesn't have anything like that?
I don't think you realize that it's a lot easier to police a nation of 4 million people and 324,220 sq km of land.
The United states has 290 million people and has 9,631,418 sq km of land.
