Some interesting reading re the state of emergency

Yes, interesting perspective - not so sure that some of his facts are correct though, especially his assertions re the 1980 coup and the SoE (suspension of ECHR) allowing Turkey to use capital punishment.

Anyway, it's always good to hear an American having a rant about "human rights", my irony meter kinda went of the scale there...

No sign of police. Not even the usual Jandarma stop in Ovacik this morning

 In May our driver and us were stopped on the way from Dalaman ( around by the tunnel can't remember the exact place). That was the only place, didn't see them stopping people's in any other area, which was unusual. I thought there would of been an increase to the normal holiday presence.

They might be a bit confused about what they do now - chain of command has been stripped from military and they are now part of Ministry of Interior.  Almost like a private government army.

MarKar, that's not too unusual. There have been randomly placed police checks on the road to / from the airport for 2 or 3 years, they're usually by traffic police. I was stopped by one by Yaniklar, produce documents for vehicle + passport & a breathalyser (the reading was zero)

One of my friends, who lived in Ciftlik, was stopped over 10 times in a year!
