If you look at any coutry from visitor poiny of view - I would agree.
I visit many countries and live in some.
If you look from historical point of view and learn how to observe and as well develop skills what to look for you definitely will change your mind. UK was nown for centuries for violation of Human Rights and up to today not much changes!
Many natives defend their position, but do they develop ability to apply neutral observations (not the judgements)? I never have problems with regular people.
Making opinion of anything depend on incomming information and observations - and that's defining factor on opinion which each of us form.
Only when someone learn to apply all necessary (and complex) aspects in forming opinion shall not reject some comments.
This may sounds philosophical - but I base my opinion base on facts, observation, history, culture, Human Right violation, behaviour of government and employersand as well many other aspects. And I always correct my views according to incomming information (but not blindly) - I alvays validate all of the aspects related to formation of present opinion.

So think about it. If every movement is observe by police including multitude of cameras, and police acts in many cases without proper justification - how you will call it?
Look deeper into history, into every day of life of average Human Been. You would be supprize what you can find?
