I don’t know about you, but one of the things that I have always loved about this country of ours was the fact that you were always presumed innocent until proven guilty. That is just basically fair. It’s elementary. It’s American. What is there to complain about in that premise? Yet that seems to be the first rule of law that is violated.
Read the newspaper and watch the news on television and you will see that the rule is violated time after time.
And now we have the Supreme Court ruling that drug sniffing dogs (Not 100% reliable) can be used by the police at routine traffic stops. Routine? Can you really trust all of the police to do the right thing all of the time? Of course not, and every time you lose a little bit of your freedom, you encourage government to take just a little bit more of it the next time.
