You're right. I hadn't considered how the right to private property and protection against unreasonable search and seizure is BS. Thanks for enlightening me. 

Sarcasm aside; with a "put these idiots afoot as bear bait" and "I would do that in a heartbeat" attitude, thank you for leaving the police service. The force is better for it. The state should work to improve the situations that encourage reckless driving on the highway, but allowing police officers that much latitude doesn't respect the Constitutional right to the due process of law. You don't get to play judge and jury.
