I'm not sure if listing more acts of tyranny is that helpful, especially considering how fucked up the ones you've already listed are. I'd rather talk about action. |

To any American that's been paying attention, I would imagine that it's obvious we are not living in the same "Land of the Free" that we have all grown accustomed to believing that we live in. We owe a large amount of that to the 'War on Terror'. In my opinion, the great War on Terror has done more for the abolishment of civil liberties than probably anything else I can think of, throughout my 30+ years on this Earth and in this country. There are countless examples of this (and more coming to pass, daily), so I thought that we might do good to include them all in the same place. |

The 4th Amendment no longer applies to automobiles. How convenient. |

I do somewhat agree with this, but I'm sure you'll find that there are many, many Americans who aren't aware of many of these issues. (And, apparently, new issues are popping up all the time.) I see spreading awareness as a positive thing. Consolidating many issues into one thread could be plenty helpful as well, to anyone who might be new to this kind of political territory. |

It started really getting bad after Nixon declared war on drugs. Once circuit court decision after another stripped away automobile privacy with the language, "... the interest of fighting drugs..." Cops can pull over anybody and search their cars now. The 4th Amendment often comes up in court, but when the cops found drugs, the judges think there was obviously a reason to search. "Oh, he had red eyes," and, "I smelled cocaine," and other B.S. works just fine. If there is an issue raised about why the person was pulled over, it's as simple as, "He swerved a little," or, "He was driving too close to the car in front of him." When the cops didn't find drugs, they just drove off and there was nothing for anybody to complain about in court. Warrants are no longer required, although the 4th Amendment says they are. So, the 4th Amendment doesn't realistically apply to automobiles any more. It's open season on people on the road. |

You ever feel like maybe your identity is getting wrapped up in oppression, to the point where you secretly grin a little bit of "I told you so" when things like the NDAA pass? |

I think the gun lobby is lining both sides of the debate, they're just making sure they line more pro-gun pockets that gun-control pockets. |
