I think what I have an issue with is manufacturing emergencies to limit rights and freedoms of citizens. It happens in most tyrannical regimes. Take Syria for example.
"You have rights and freedoms, just like everywhere else. They're just suspended right now, because we've been at war with Israel since 1948. Once that state of war is lifted, you can have those freedoms back."
We just need to ensure these emergencies truly are emergencies and that they are very short lived.
