I know many on this board have never met an enforcement opportunity they didn't support, but try this on for size; An enforcement clause on following the Constitution. Meaning, to disobey the Constitution is a crime, for the public employees sworn to uphold it.
Jail or personal fines for those who are found guilty of infringing someone's rights, perform an illegal search, abuse gun-owners and make them prone out on the floor without any cause, act outside of strict provisions regarding probable cause, etc.
The goal is to get our pubic servants to err on the side of Liberty instead of infringing citizens' rights. Get them to take that oath of theirs seriously. Incentivize knowledge of the Bill of Rights. Quit soaking the taxpayers when a government agent messes up; the victim of government thuggery should be paid out of the thug's pocket before the taxpayers are punished.
