If you can't take the fact that it is barely followed then you need to open your eyes a little bit more. I deal with criminal cases all day long and I see it so live with it or move IMHO.
Actually, it's the job of the citizens to not live with it and fight for change. Again, hence the right to bear arms - if all else fails, we as citizens have the ability to forcefully effect change. Thomas Jefferson himself believed that revolutions were necessary from time to time to keep government in check. Personally, I'd like to fight for it through non-violent means.

The government only has power in so much as we give it. Demokratia - people power. WE are the government, yet our collective apathy has turned that upside-down. WE have the responsibility to make sure that the government respects our rights, not the responsibility to "live with it or move."
