    The cops are allowed to “pretty much” disregard your rights no matter what you do. Happens all the time, multiple times every day, in every state.

    Extrapolate that information however you will.

      If you don’t have the resources to fight them in court, yes. However they are routinely shut-down when they come across people that do. I am not saying this is good, it is designed to protect people with resources, and is bad. The big thing is that this is happening to people who were able to get competent representation, and spend the time, fighting this, and appealing, etc., in court. They are bringing these cases to to court, and circuit level SC, specifically to rule in a manner that makes it so people with resources have no rights, either.

      Putting on my tin-foil hat on - revolutions do not happen unless people of means also adopt the cause, along with at least ~3% of the general population. Doing this locks out, not only, the lower classes, but anyone who the court isn’t in the pocket of, thus making revolt, against their side, that much more difficult.
