How can you keep authority figures honest? What do you do if an authority figure in your life is abusing their power?

There should be a big punishment for all the people who abuse their power. It's understandable that people in power want to keep that power. It's also understandable that people are inherently greedy.

There are some special people who actually are honest and don't abuse their power. The public, and I believe, the media's job, is to figure out who is honest and who isn't.

When the authorities cheat people, especially people of the government, they're usually robbing the public of its money and power. So who's being cheated? The public. Then who should try to keep the authorities honest? The public. Although the authorities are the ones who make the laws, they have to follow them just as we do.
