United States federal government should substantially decrease its authority

You mentioned in your previous round that amending the Fourth Amendment will prevent criminals from getting away for the crimes they have committed; however, now you are claiming that reforming laws is not the solution to the problem. Subsequently, you changed it again and said that reforming the system is better than reforming the law. The system creates the law., therefore the law is the system. No matter how well-trained police officers are, if the people higher than them are loopholes, then they will be breaking laws. I believe that reforming the whole system perhaps in terms of replacing people in position will not be a smart idea because they will have the same power as the former elected officials and will most likely commit wrongdoings. Probable cause is not only used to determine and further prevent an on-going criminal activity but it is also used as a standard basis in a Grand Jury to prove that the crime has been committed. The United States federal government should decrease its power for they possess extremely high power that enables them to abuse it and further wrongfully enforce the law. Here are the lists of people who were in position and abused their power: http://newsone.com... The problem with stop-and-frisk is that police officers mistaken 'hunch' from probable cause. Police officers approach their targets having a 'hunch' and further trick them to develop from 'hunch' to probable cause. It is true that reasonable suspicion is the standard of proof for legal standard for arrests and warrants. However, under the Fourth Amendment states that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause." The example about stop-and-frisk is totally relevant to the topic because this policy is very complex and complicated. Again, discussing how the police do their job is not irrelevant to the topic for the job they are operating is based on the laws created by the federal government. I was not implying to make any changes or reforms within the police system because whatever mistakes they do, the authorities on top of them should be blamed because they are ones who should supervising whether the police are correctly enforcing the law. You clearly did not address the situation I indicated about a girl named Tanya Weyker. If you are going to tell me how people do not follow traffic rules that is why they get pulled over and eventually arrested of drinking while intoxicated or driving under the influence, then tell me more about what happened in this incident. This police officer, who blew a stop sign then hit Weyker's car, cruelly arrested Weyker's for unreasonable and imprudent speed, operating while intoxicated, operating with PAC >= 0.08 < 0.10, causing injury while operating while intoxicated, causing injury while operating with PAC alcohol. In short, the case was not drop when the evidence is clearly on her side when her blood drawn resulted that she absolutely had no alcohol in her system. This is one of many incidents where the system abuses its power and put people into burden. Source: http://www.policestateusa.com... Current situation of the country: 1) Nation's debt: http://www.washingtontimes.com... 2) Unemployment rate: http://www.tradingeconomics.com... 3) Economic stand: http://www.heritage.org... 4) Health care: http://aspe.hhs.gov... Here are the sources that you demanded. In response to your question, "Are you saying that with less authority the government would use its authority in "the right way," the answer is YES. This is because, too much authority results to an abuse of power. "What is 'the right way'?" The right way is not to extend the authority and abuse it for own's beneficiary. The United States federal government should decrease its authority because elected officials who possess an extreme power can not better our country by just looking at the current stand of it. In particular, law enforcement agencies have been abusing their power to ultimately convict an individual when they do not have enough evidence to do so. As of today, NYPD are facing million dollars of lawsuit against them for wrongfully enforcing the law. Source: http://www.nydailynews.com...
