Most of these problems are created by the attitude of American public to show deep hatred for any group that is convicted of anything. We as Americans are not doing a good job of standing up for the rights of people who we dont like.
The law enforcement always use the words like "we took this horrific sex offender off the street" and people generally cheer up such talk. In reality the guy was merely caught peeing in some bush.
We need to stand up for the rights of drug dealers, sex offenders, suspected terrorists, victims of civil forfeiture and every other criminal because that is the right thing to do. If we start supporting "vigilante" attitude of law enforcement officials sooner or later they are going to come for you and me and no one will help us then.
Currently I see ACLU doing a good job of this at the ground level and Cato Institute doing a fine job at much higher level. But they are far too small. We need to build much bigger organizations that would do this at a larger scale.
Actually we dont have to pursue all cases. Figure out the most tyrannical cities and target their prosecutors heavily. Once you shame few of them publicly and humiliate them everyone else learns the lesson.
