Not knowing your rights is the same as not having them.
Very little research will show that many law enforcement professionals know that most citizens are unaware of their rights; in fact this makes the job of enforcement easier since the citizens rights can be trampled without consequence.

This ideal places the burden of proof on the people.
When the privacy of the people is breached, the people are the victim.
Placing the burden of proof on the victim is wrong.
My point is that the rights of the people are beautiful and need to be not only protected, but also respected and projected.
