i think the reference to nazi germany was to highlight the fact that just because it is law that doesn't mean it is right. politicians create laws, the police enforce them and the judiciary determine guilt and punishment. both the police and the judiciary have discretionary powers partly to protect us from the politicians.
i come from a police family [ dad, uncle, god father] and in his later years my old man was disgusted by the attitudes of a lot of younger police. but then i suppose they just reflect the society that we now live in. cheers.
