I think it would be better to say "I trust the stated principles and mandate from the people for government organizations, but I don't trust the people or groups in those organizations."

On paper, the FBI, EPA, IRS...etc make sense. But each one of them is run by people, who have agendas. They should have to provide independent, verifiable information for their actions, instead of using the name or mandate of the organization to justify their actions.

But that's not what I'm trying to say. In general, I do mostly trust the FBI, IRS, EPA, and FDA, including the people and processes to control corruption.

I absolutely don't trust local or state police.

Do you actually trust them, or do you just agree with some of the more public things they've done recently?
