implying that police has stopped "bad things". it's a common myth much like short fence in front of the yard stopping burglaries.
Law don't necessarly stop the bad things... actually it might create new ones (those who make laws are human too and they're more free than those under them so 'doing bad' for them is way easier than without laws)...
But without a law/rules everyone will have this "ability" to do bad things without consequences ... that's worse than having few people doing that.
The freedom you talk about needs that every person in the society is good at heart. I wish this can happen... but "most people" when they can choose the easier option they will choose it even if it was the worse choice.
Rules are created to serve some people but not others. I don't care about rules. I don't care about the government. the freedom i talk about is in the mind. Once you get hold of that then every other boundary fails.
I agree with this.
