So hard to choose as most of them have been compromised to a great degree as of late.

I think IV and V are the alien to modern law enforcement. II is would only be valid if you could have parity with the government (the ship has sailed on that). VII's threshold of $20 makes most traffic tickets illegal.

when did you first think Sabu was compromised? For me it is when he blocked me on twitter for saying that arizona state troopers were not La Migra.

VI speedy trial thing is pretty much a farce

Yes, IV, V, and VI stand out to me as the most damaged.

Also our prison system is an affront to VIII. For example, going to a US prison for illegal drug possession is cruel and unusual punishment.

yet I and II are all the democrats and republicans ever talk about. the arrogation of power by the police and through them the state I feel is the biggest threat to our freedoms and safety.

Yep.

I am tired of the Democrats and Republicans.

(the libertarians too)
