You seriously think the EU is some kind of anti-democratic, police state type body?

Personally the only reason I think the EU is undemocratic is because if it suddenly started getting it's own directly elected officials (ie. The European Council and the Commission) then it would be seen as another step towards becoming a state in its own right, which they are trying to avoid.
