And let me guess: The police get to decide what an "emergency" is, right? This assumes that the state will ALWAYS be acting in good faith.
Has nobody learned anything? If you grant special powers to government officials, but "only during emergencies", then "emergencies" will become the constant state of affairs, and every single action of the state will be automatically deemed to be an "emergency".
Like, "Just this second, as a matter of "officer safety", I have decided that I don't like that you're taking video of me during this "emergency" beatdown of a little old lady, so I'm arresting you too."
