> The US constitution needs lots of updates but this maybe the most important item -- manadatory prison terms for anyone acting on behalf of government who is found violating the bill of rights or any restriction set by articles of the constitution.

We already have federal criminal and civil law establishing penalties, damages, and other remedies for deprivation of rights under color of law, plus the Constitutional power of impeachment which is designed to serve that role for offenses against the Constitutional order of government that are not adequately remediable through traditional legal process.

Your problem seems really to be that laws are always enforced by humans and you don't like the way that the humans responsible for the existing enforcement mechanisms apply them. That's not something that is likely to be fixed particularly well by focussing on changing the law rather than focussing on changing who is entrusted with it's application.
