yea, this fascist government is really starting to steam roll over the 
people, when they are responsible for all the drugs coming into this
country.

Supreme Court to Review Police Arrest Powers
<http://www.cato.org/dispatch/03-25-03d.html#2>http://www.cato.org/dispatch/03-25-03d.html#2 

According to USA Today, "The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider
the 
scope of police power to arrest all occupants of a car during a traffic 
stop, agreeing to look at a case in which everyone in a car denied 
knowledge of drugs and a roll of cash found inside.

"The case from Maryland continues a line of Supreme Court cases clarifying 
when officers have probable cause and can apprehend someone without a 
warrant. In this case, the court will consider whether it was an 
unconstitutional stretch for the officer to link the front-seat passenger 
to drugs found in a back armrest, and then to arrest all three people in 
the car."

In a Cato Institute Policy Analysis, "A Society of Suspects: The War on 
Drugs and Civil Liberties", Steven Witotsky describes in detail the 
freedoms Americans have ceded to the federal government in the battle 
against illegal drugs.

"Most Americans have yet to appreciate that the War on Drugs is
necessarily 
a war on the rights of all of us," writes Witotsky. "It could not be 
otherwise, for it is directed not against inanimate drugs but against 
people--those who are suspected of using, dealing in, or otherwise being 
involved with illegal drugs. Because the drug industry arises from the 
voluntary transactions of tens of millions of people--all of whom try to 
keep their actions secret--the aggressive law enforcement schemes that 
constitute the war must aim at penetrating the private lives of those 
millions. And because nearly anyone may be a drug user or seller of drugs 
or an aider and abettor of the drug industry, virtually everyone has
become 
a suspect. All must be observed, checked, screened, tested, and 
admonished--the guilty and innocent alike.

"As Peter Rodino, former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said
in 
expressing his anger at the excesses of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, 
'We have been fighting the war on drugs, but now it seems to me the attack 
is on the Constitution of the United States.'"
