Too many or too few rights?


Our Rights
I think we have to many rights, But i think the law knows how to work
around them in certain scenarios. Making us actually have less rights.
For instance Searches and Seizures, the law has to present a warrant
to you in order to search your things, but the warrant has to lay out
exactly what they are searching. In some situations the law actually
found other illegal activities & had taken, like drug paraphernalia,
weapons etc. Then being tried in court & the judge most times would
say, your fourth amendment had been violated, and charges would be
dropped. But other times they had know choice to arrest a person for
vigorous illegal acts, even when there right was being violated.
Another example would be the first amendment, Freedom of Speech, but
you really don't have absolute freedom of what you can say. Like at
the airport you wouldn't want to say something about terrorists, it
scares other people and the authority has no choice but to consider
you as a threat. In schools, you can't say certain things to your
teachers, & the same goes for them. So the government works around
this amendment by saying you can say what-ever you want, but in
reality you can't.
The last example, is second amendment, the Right to Bare Arms, we now
have the right to conceal carry, but in a lot of stores they are
putting up signs before you walk in, saying you cannot conceal carry
in this place of business. for example; the situation at Kwik trip,
the man defended himself while conceal carrying, even though Kwik trip
was a place where you could no bare arms. But in the end Kwik trip
dropped the charges on the man because he protected himself and the
store. Even though he was breaking a law, he was considered a hero.
This is why i believe we have to many rights, but in the end we don't
have enough with how the court works around them. Even though in some
cases the charges should be dropped, we have a law and we can't keep
making exceptions for people.
