This happens every single day in every single State. Evidence is collected, a people are inconvenienced.

Inconvenienced? LEO's stopping you on the street to ask a few questions is "inconvenienced". Being locked-up and denied contact with your loved ones and family under threat of violence is quite a bit MORE than "inconvenienced". Sheesh! I suppose that Auschwitz was a "somewhat unpleasant little Jewish summer camp".

Try this scenario:
A phone call to the police in a small town accuses a teacher at the local elementary school of child abuse. The police immediately round up all of the children and lock them in the gymnasium along with their mothers. Cell phones are confiscated, and the mothers are not allowed to use public phones to speak to the fathers of the children nor any other family or loved ones. Charges are not filed against the mothers and they are kept under lock down for days on end. It is discovered that the accused teacher could not possibly have committed the abuse he/she is accused of, yet the children and mothers remain in custody and not allowed contact with their family members. Meanwhile, the tipster/accuser cannot be located, so there is no proof that any crime has been committed by or to anyone under lock down. Yet their rights are NOT restored to them.

That is pretty much what we have here once the religious component is stripped away. Now try to convince me that people have NOT been stripped of their rights by the Government in either case.

Your analogy doesn’t even come close to working. Try another one.
