The police must have a lawful reason to stop or detain someone. They cannot just pull someone over in a car without any reason at all. If that is happening, then you and your friends should get an attorney.

As for being in your front yard, well, the officers can come up and talk to you any time they want just like anyone else. If they are being rude or otherwise unprofessional, report them. But they do have the lawful right to walk up to you in your yard and tell you they are hearing you are dealing dope and ask you about it. You have the right to smile and tell them to pound sand.
