I'm not sure how respectable their space program actually was, and neither are a lot of people. They did some impressive stuff, but they also had this habit of blowing up on the launchpad or otherwise fucking up - we really have no idea how many cosmonauts died during the Soviet program.

Firefighters do not have the ability to strip a citizen of their rights.

Police do, and their ability to strip a citizen of their rights doesn't go away when they are off-duty (please don't bring up "citizen's arrest," people, it is a largely ignored concept for a reason). They are entrusted with large responsibilities, so the case for monitoring them is vastly different from that of a regular citizen.

Because in their professional capacity the police are agents of the state. My employer is not the state.

When you choose to seek the power that the police (or elected officials, for that matter) wield, you forfeit the right to be treated as a regular Joe Citizen.
