To make this more concrete: There are a lot of "legally sanctioned" government actions happening in the US right now that are pretty dubious. That includes digging up old laws and giving them spicy new interpretations that legal experts agree are an abuse of power and not in the intent of the original law.

Some of these are getting batted down by judges, so right now the category of "legal" is especially vague. That's why I phrased it like that.

But also, we see cops just straight up stalking people using government tools. So that's another reason to be concerned about "legal" government actions.

Nothing to do with libertarianism.
