My concern is that we keep piling rules and restrictions on one side of the law and order situation. It's much easier to restrict the part f the system that we have some control over while the other side goes on playing with whatever rules suit them and they can get away with. Meanwhile, the good guys are forced to walk nearer and nearer the line that separates them from the bad guys. You will never convince me that in the years it's taken this case to make its way to the highest court in the nation that we haven't adversely impacted the way the first level defenders of our law and safety do their job.

Your concern is justified. In the 60's, it was the Miranda Case where suspects had "rights" to remain silent. It is coming down where we the citizens will not be protected by law since the criminals have the right to remain silent and run away at the same time without worry of being apprehended.

Our rights as citizens to protect ourselves will come down to the 2nd Amendment. With the Castle Doctrine being adopted in more states, we the people will have the right to carry concealed weapons. If anyone threatens us, we have the right to defend ourselves, shoot the assailent and run away without being pursued.
