Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a blanket statement of all countries but "other countries" as in there are countries that you can't talk shit about your government and it is much more than the 3 you mentioned.
It can also be much more subtle than it is in say North Korea. Russia seems to have a lot of people falling out of building windows when they oppose the government. Jails house political opponents, journalists, whistle lowers, and the like.
A good portion of Europe have constitutions in place. The EU itself has a constitution. I'd also like to add that "freedom" means something different to different people so it's tough to say someplace is free.
Try filing a police complaint in the US, see how long you go without falling into a stop and frisk.
It's an annoying process, but it's not that bad. There are areas in this country where it is, or worse, but it's also nearly a continent and some change worth of people and places, so it's hard to generalize. Police are also a locally controlled thing in the US, so it diverges more then say the post office.
I have and it was easy and where I live we don't have a stop and frisk law.
