And this is not an exaggeration, either! When you read a news headline that includes the words "two dozen shell casings" and "turf war between pimps," you know that it's not just your everyday crime situation.

Do you know who the Stasi were? They were the ubiquitous secret police of Communist East Germany. They infiltrated every aspect of society, where citizens were urged to report their friends, coworkers, and even family members for activities against the State. No one could trust any other person.
