Plots of Law & Order, CSI Feature Heroic Violations of 4th; 5th Amendments

I watched a re-run of Law & Order and saw a 're-run' of an American nightmare - the looting, plundering, and desecration of the Bill of Rights, particularly the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.*

Anyone who thinks that liberals or the left is in control of network television has a screw loose.  The writers of these shows cannot let an episode pass without coercing a confession or lying their way into an illegal search. 

No wonder only 10% of Americans understand their rights and roll over and play dead when nonsense like the Patriot Act comes up or Bush violates the law.

*Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
