First Amendment
The First Amendment allows the people of the United States to voice unpopular opinions, preventing tyranny by the majority. It also allows people to assembly peaceable and allows the press to report fact and voice opinion without prior restraint. If we cannot petition our government for the redress of grievances we risk the hardening of a permanent majority into a self-enforcing bureaucracy.

Your 4th Amendment rights _should_ allow you to say no to the bored, profiling highway cop when he wants to tear apart your car looking for god-knows-what, but some states have loopholes these assholes can use. If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't need to be submissive to their whims and attitudes.
