Body Searches?....you cheat on GST...what is there to search the body?.....this is what you can get or is already getting for voting for these people...who are given so much power in their hands....you can be 'fixed' for charges relating to GST & get arrested without even applying for a warrant of arrest..

If the penalty is death for any crime, include tax crime, there won't be a need for such powers. And the enforcement team can be scaled down. Win-win-win ...just by simplifying the penalty for crime.
