What rights have you lost in the war on drugs?

I have lost the ability to not be intimidated by police during traffic stops. Prior to asset forfiture laws there was no direct cash incentive for police departments to unilaterally encourage officers to look for excuses to pull people over just so they can try to intimidate the driver into allowing a search intended to discover drugs/cash so they can confiscate the car/cash and have it go into funding their department.

I have lost the expectation of privacy on my person when inteacting with a police officer.

I have lost the expectation that I be treated in a dignified and respectful manner by police, rather than an intimidating manner.

I have lost the freedom that comes with the knowledge that we are safe in our homes and the feeling that police are on are side, the feeling that police desire to serve the citizens.

I have lost the expectation that I will be treated fairly if interacting wiht the police.

I suggest you look up some asset forfiture cases when some family had their house confiscated because their teenage son had a couple bags of weed and is accused of dealing. It does not have to happen to ME or to YOU for it to be harming both us, ALL of us.

The way it is SUPPOSED to be is that the government are our SERVANTS. The JUDGE is our SERVANT. The police are are SERVANTS. When we walk down the street, the police are supposed to be there greeting us curtiously and tipping their hats to us, "Anything I can do for you today sir?" "You have a nice day now, sir." None of them are supposed to be short tempered or mean spirited or act in a way that shows they have contept for us. Ever.
