So how can we continue to pretend we have rights when these “rights” can be taken away from us at any time, on the whim of an evil police officer or judge or DA, and we are turned into chattel slaves when they do?

Depending on whom you vote for, they’ll either shrink it where it hurts or grow it back out again. Your choice.
