Technically I think they are the same thing, but tell me what you think.... legally and constitutionally.
maybe they used to be the same thing, and you being a lawyer probably do see them as the same thing. but in the really real world, they are not. the government can make a law and it would then be legal, but it doesn't have to be constitutional.
now, legally, i'm supposed to follow all orders by a cop, even if the cop is wrong, and then file my complaint afterward and hope that there's justice in the way of giving me a paltry sum for my violated rights. constitutionally, I'm free from unreasonable searches and seizures and if that cop doesn't have a reasonable suspicion to stop and search me, I can continue on my way. If said cop then uses force, I can kill him........constitutionally. we all know that this isn't going to fly because you don't buck big brother and the man, am I right?
