Imagine a world where your government can set up road-blocks and order you to the side of the road.  Upon being stopped you are interrogated, "Where are your papers?"  "Have you been drinking?" "Why aren't you wearing your seatbelt?"

I don't want to cooperate you say...leave me alone.  "We will take your license for a year if you won't blow into our machine."  But those machines are faulty, you say.  "You can't challenge our machines, they have the force of law," they say.  What about the Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amendment?!?, you can't do this!  This is un-American!  "Hey buddy, our friends the greiving mothers go to the judges and the politicians and have taken away those "technicalities. You might as well cooperate." 

I'll get the best lawyer, he'll argue for me.  He'll tell the jury how this all works and they will tell you to go to hell.  "Well, we have already picked your jury by buying a bunch of media air time telling them what a problem you are.  We tell the public that there is a crisis.  But best of all, we've convince the public that you are a menance and someone to be scared of." Why are you doing this, what do you have to gain? "Well, you see, its big business for us.  Grants, revenue, good will, its all about the cash."

This scenario was unthinkable just a few years ago.  Now, it happens everyday. How far will they go?  How far will you let them?
