So exactly the same as in the USA and every other major developed nation in the world, then?

No, the opposite of what you stated.

You do realise that the US is literally rolling out wide spread facial recognition software as we speak, NK doesn't hold the monopoly on being an authoratarian hellhole.

You do realize that the US has a functioning justice system, and there is a difference between security and suppression?

You do realize the reality of the US justice system (and most of its systems) is not at all the same as the theory?
