Default Bill of Rights in Jeopardy?

As is mentioned in a previous post, the arrests in Los Angelas seem a lot like internment but I don't know the whole story. Here is a link to a news account:

Also in a famous case in the late 80's, convictions were overturned in the "Central Park Jogger" rape case recently. All of the five had done their time for this crime while apparently being innocent. The woman who has remained anonymous but who is coming with a book soon has consistently stated that she had no recollection of the case. Apparently the 5 convicted were railroaded in this case. Even though this happened some time ago has the pendulum are our rights more secure now? Some links to the story:
