Police use entrapment to lure people to break the law under a system that creates a conflict of interest due to the seizure of property for law enforcement use. These problems are compounded by prosecutorial misconduct, vague and overly broad conspiracy charges, changes of venue, biased judicial instructions, limits placed on defense evidence and motivation, etc. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. In recent years, people in the U.S. have suffered increasing intrusions on their privacy, including phone taps, invasive urine testing, infra-red scanning of homes, garbage and mail searches, computer searches of bank records and utility bills. Employees are routinely subjected to random urine testing, with neither probable cause nor warrant, as a job requirement.
Police sweep neighborhoods and block public roadways to search people, sometimes with dogs.
And when warrants are still issued, they are often based on hearsay evidence, high-tech surveillance and monitoring systems even the amount of electricity a home or business uses in a month or gauge the amount of heat it gives off. The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state. Indeed, the family is a primary target of the Drug War. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property. Under US civil asset forfeiture laws, police agencies and informants get to keep the proceeds of their confiscations.
