Considering unsatisfied citizens are fully scanned in the Chandra Rooms as to create the perfect copy, doesn't Bradley already have the citizens' perfect blueprint, making the decodification and assimilation of the original wholly unnecessary, since he can recreate them in the Hagrave Matrix with a mere thought ?

The second paragraph of Polis Coalition really sounds like you felt obligated to (rather unnecessarily) darken the picture, just to make sure we see Bradley as a bad guy ^ ^; I mean, he knows perfectly well that totalitarism is more successful when the people isn't aware of its existence, that's basically the core of his character.

So there's no reason he would suddenly pull a dickish 180° turn in the Polis just because he has more power in there (goes against the philosophy that separates him from his father), especially since he remains adamant about the "perfect utopia from their perspective" side of his empire (which obviously would be annihilated the instant he drops the curtain).
