They have given cops pretty much unlimited powers to do any damn thing they want to...and they do.

I remember very clearly in the 1970's and 1980's that cops couldn't search my car or me. They couldn't go into my wife's purse etc.
And real cops? They will search you, frisk you, talk to you like you are a dog...and if you ask they "why" it just pisses them off.
Hell, You go to a fucking concert and you have non-cops searching your wife's purse and running wands over you.

Disgusting.

Thank you Richard Nixon for the "War On Drugs" and subsequent jailing of more citizens in the United States than ANY country on Earth in all of history.

Google it up for yourself. Prison industry is a multi-billion dollar corporate monster. And the cops are the ones who keep it supplied.
