The Fourth Amendment is just fine, thank you.

And cops can now search your car because they see a magazine with a graphic of a pot leaf on it, or strip and detain you because you fit the profile of a drug courier, or take all your cash because you fit that same profile (all are true stories).

You make excellent points...and I agree. There is in the nature of societies, a desire to control others' behavior.

Yes, we have that in our society, and I disagree with some drug laws.

Now back to important issues such as life and death and the protection, no - survival of our less-than-perfect form of constitutional government.

If we're dead, we can't continue the great experiment in self government; and we can't continue to improve it. That's my bottom line.
