      The US doesn't have secret police, per the description of the term on Wikipedia. The FBI and CIA did meet the definition at some points during the Cold War.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_police …

      1. When do you think that the CIA voluntary gave up extrajudicial power and stopped being a secret police? 2. What are your thoughts on the NSA?

      This is my half assed intuition based on secret police as unaccountable muscle for the regime (gestapo, KGB, various internal ministries): CIA/FBI harassing purported domestic leftists and radicals was SP activity. Everything else isn't.

      every group that could conceivably be identified as extremist is more or less chock full of feds its axiomatic at this point usual M.O. is to push the most socially vulnerable member to get hyped up to commit some violent crime for which they can shut everything down

          Treating this as binary is ontologically obstacle-ridden. If gestapo or FSB is a 10 on a 0-10 SP scale, where does this place modern FBI, NYPD, etc. Probably pretty low.

          But if we were to round up or down, I'd say no is more accurate. It seems like the concept of SP is very closely linked to one-party states so it's intrinsically confusing to apply to non-secret (if questionably accountable) security services in a democratic republic.
