You’re conflating your family and their jobs. Their jobs are NOT to be trusted. If you let a cop in your home all warrant rules evaporate, anything they see can and will be used against you. Amendment 3 clearly says you shouldn’t let soldiers (not your son, the rest of them) in your home.

Sorry but you are 100% wrong. In a republic the government is something we constructed and HOPE to control. But again that control is based on an adversarial relationship. And step 1 to changing the government is realizing that it needs to be changed, which means admitting it is not on your side.

Don’t take my word for it, ask the experts:
[G]overnment, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.”
— Thomas Paine
Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
Thomas Jefferson

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
Thomas Jefferson

“It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government. “
— Thomas Paine

“The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.”
— Thomas Jefferson

“The greatest [calamity] which could befall [us would be] submission to a government of unlimited powers.”
— Thomas Jefferson

Never, ever, under any circumstances trust the government. And never confuse it with the people.
