COPS vs. The Constitution is a heavily researched, Current Affairs book that takes a philosophical and academic approach to the "taking for grantedness" of Law Enforcement by Politicians, Special Interests, Bureaucrats, Lawyers, and Corporate Lobbyists, who then create the modern Legal System. Operating from within this legal system, the cop's Oath to uphold the Constitution and to enforce its mandated Rule of Law becomes virtually impossible. Instead, what we have is the enforcement of a neo-progressive legal system, which undermines the very foundational principles of our Republic, such as the "Separation of Powers." Contrary to the security of the fundamental rights and liberty of the individual, authoritarian collectivism, forced economic activity, social engineering and the legal plundering of property are being forced onto the American people through the exploitation of law enforcement. This is happening at all levels of American government, while systematically advocating the necessity of such "policy" for the public's safety and for national security. This book is not a negative critique of law enforcement, but rather a philosophical critique of its exploitation by way of this new style of "progress."
