investment bank

Greed, the downfall of American Productivity.
If your factory or enterprise is no longer privately held, and margins are less than 25%, prepare for your job to move offshore.

Fred: "Hey Greg, where's your car?"

Greg: "Couldn't afford the payment. An investment bank took over our factory, sold off the machinery and building, and now 14 year old Chinese girls make Oster blenders."

Fred: "It's economics. 1/8th the quality at 1/10th the wage."

4th Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Your 4th Amendment rights _should_ allow you to say no to the bored, profiling highway cop when he wants to tear apart your car looking for god-knows-what, but some states have loopholes these assholes can use. If you're not doing anything wrong, you don't need to be submissive to their whims and attitudes.
