Isn't this illegal?

I'm sure there's an amendment about that... Let's see... *dredges up the 10th grade*

1. Speech, press, religion, assembly and petition
2. Bear arms
3. No quartering of soldiers in peacetime
4. No unreasonable search/seizures, "just cause"
5. No self-incriminating statements, no double jeopardy
6. Speedy, impartial jury trial
7. Trial by jury for civil suits >$20
8. No excessive bail, no cruel and unusual punishments
9. This list doesn't mean there aren't other rights
10. Rights not covered by the constitution are ceded to the states

There's pretty well established case law on this. Just as the FBI was able to do it to John Kerry and Martin Luther King Jr., the courts have over and over said as long as the cops aren't explicitly saying, "You can't do what you're doing because we don't like it," then it goes.

You would think we had done away with cop intimidating tatics like this in the 1920s.
