As a citizen, I have no use for cash. What I want is to know that the cops won't come crashing in my door because my neighbor, who is pissed at me for letting my dog shit in his yard (hi Pony!), has told the cops that he thinks I might be dealing.

2nd Amendment takes care of this.

He's kicking the door in because it no longer costs him anything to be wrong.

I am not sure why this of concern to you....in Chicagoland, I am pretty sure that anyone who might raise their 4th Amendment rights to challenge a police search gets another visit from the police explaining why the invocation of such "rights" might not be in their long term health's interest.
Of course this oppression and abuse of government is due to the right wing thugs who have controlled Cook County for so long.
