Summary
There is a growing sense that many liberal states are in the midst of a shift in norms-a shift that is happening slowly and for a variety of reasons relating to security. The Internet and tech booms-paving the way for new forms of electronic surveillance-predated the 9/11 attacks by several years, while the police's vast use of secret informants and deceptive operations began well before that. The recent uptick in reactionary movements-movements in which the rule of law seems expendable-began many years after 9/11 and continues to this day. One way to describe this work is as an examination of the moral limits on modern police practices that flow from the basic legal and philosophical tenets of the liberal tradition.
