Police Statism

Police Statism or PolStat is an ideology or form of government that exercises power through the power of the police force. Originally, PolStat was defined as an ideology advocating for a state regulated by a civil administration, but since the beginning of the 20th century it has "taken on an emotional and derogatory meaning" by describing an undesirable state of living characterized by the overbearing presence of civil authorities.

The inhabitants of a police state may experience restrictions on their mobility, or on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force that operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state.

Personality and Beheaviour
PolState is portrayed as a stereotypical police officer.

Stylistic Notes
In some comics PolState was portrayed as Authoritarianism with a police hat.
