Teen put in Rikers (NY) for 3 years without ever having been convicted.

No priors, no evidence, no recovered property, a single eyewitness, charges suddenly dismissed 3 years after his arrest with no explanation, and was only offered a plea deal (which he denied) after having been in more than 2 years.  Likely the plea deal was offered when they realized they did not have the case, yet they let him rot for months after that before finally giving up on trying to keep him imprisoned until he "confessed" so the DAs office could tally another conviction and case closed:

Bronx resident Kalief Browder was walking home from a party when he was abruptly arrested by New York City police officers on May 14, 2010. A complete stranger said Browder had robbed him a few weeks earlier and, consequently, changed the 16-year-old's life forever.

Browder was imprisoned for three years before the charges were dropped in June 2013, according to a WABC-TV Eyewitness News investigation.

January 2013:

If you don't want to involuntarily get an x-rays, two digital anal finger sweeps, three enemas, a colonoscopy,  and another x-ray based on "probable cause" simply for how you were standing during a traffic stop for supposedly running a stop sign used to in turn get a search by a drug dog who will alert on command, avoid Hidalgo county and the city of Deming, New Mexico.

Marine biologist charged for following protocols learned from the federal agencies now prosecuting her.

March 2013:

Nine years after initially being charged with crimes where she faced up to 25 years in prison, Nancy Black, a licensed marine biologist, plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges for approaching and feeding orcas (killer whales) by using methods she learned from the very federal agencies prosecuting her on securing floating blubber torn from a feed in progress to keep it close enough tot he boat to film the feeding activity.  Judging by the settlement terms, it appears one of the big issues was that she was exclusively funding her research by whale watching tours and selling her footage commercially, thus cutting into those doing the same thing to boost what they were getting from government grants to do exactly the same methods themselves.

Judge who Ruled against Raw Milk in Wisconsin quits to work for Monsanto law firm


Leading the list of how government can illegally and immorally control the population is by declaring that only those eating what the government tells them they can have the right to eat at all, and that the rest have no presumed right to even eat foods they raised themselves.

Less than three weeks after issuing a ruling citizens have no fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice, the judge involved takes a job with one of Monsanto's law firms.

The greatest threat to our Constitution is our own government

When realizing I needed a place to collect abuses against children by authority figures who thought they could get away with being heavy-handed simply because their victims were minors, I also realized I shoudl start gathering examples of abuses against the Constitutional rights against the general citizenry in the U.S. government's growing pattern of itself subverting the Constitution in order to secure powers that the Federal government is barred from the authority to exercise.  Though I have been sharing examples since before there were things like Facebook and Twitter, I wanted a spot where the examples I found would not get diluted by the links I share on other issues or lean into more partisan political territory.
