I'd say the problem lies more with the OP's behavior and attitude than it does with any sort of erosion of Constitutional freedoms.

I said it in my first post and I'll say it again: get a flag, get a blinking tail light, ride FRAP, and I'll add wear something reflective if you decide to walk on the roadway at night.
