Jim, do you mean amended again? I seem to recall 5 amendments being ratified in my lifetime already. And since the last one was in 1992, I would bet that it has happened in your lifetime too.

On a side note, the last one took 200 years to ratify, so it could be awhile until the next one.

And lying about it is worse. There may be a few times where a peace officer can lie on duty, but they are very few and far between. Lying about the reason for the stop just confirms that it was a constitutional violation, IMHO.
