modern times we have cases where police force people out of their homes to conduct surveillance on their neighbors.

You know that was all you need to write. Everything before that was unnecessary, sorry to say, rambling.

And after that was going pretty quickly to conspiracy theories.

Obviously not since the biggest argument against enforcing the 3rd amendment against the police is the very semantics I talk about.

And we demonstrably do not have the rights the Constitution says we should have. So where do the rights we do have come from? Well the police and justice system have broad power to ignore the Constitution, so they and the political power behind them must be the actual arbiter of our rights. It's not hard to put that equation together. Nobody is out here saying there's a shadow cabal or a world government. Just a shitty reality.

It's an interesting thought but you'd be more convincing if you didn't ramble incessantly and then go to conspiracy theories.

So what exactly do you think is the conspiracy here? What's the crime, who's the group, where do they meet, why are they conspiring?
