Steve's barking at a nation of law breakers

We in the United States are a nation of law breakers.
We (I) think nothing of driving at 65 miles in a 55 mile zone and think that it's alright.
When I was a smoker I would smoke in bed though it was dangerous and in New York City against the law.
Governments (city, state and federal) like to play fast and lose with the fourth amendment (that amendment stating that the right  of the people to be secure in their persons, houses and effects against unreasonable searches searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall be, but upon probable cause.
Does New York City have the right to stop and search anyone with maybe the exception is saving life and limb if one believes in the wording of the fourth amendment.
The sixth amendment specifically the right of the accused the right to a speedy and public trial. I can't recall a speedy trial.
The eight amendment clearly states excessive bail shall not be required. How many times have I read about million dollar bail for simple prostitution?  How many times have I read about bail for simple marijuana possession were the accused had no means to meet bail?
