The lack of physical means, legal permission, or (now) social tradition for the people to defend themselves from criminals plays an enormous role in the true need for a police state over there. That's a lot different than the USA. Same as how Israel's longstanding shooting war fought everywhere simultaneously is the driver for their police state. We are fortunate enough to be peaceful enough that we need not restrict our rights as a matter of practicality
The UK a police state , I am not sure were you got that from. Since when was the UK a police state. ? the majority of police are not even armed. As for peaceful enough Americas murder rate is higher than most EU countries including the UK.
