Based off your example, you should have the right to speed? You can't say that anyone is violating your privacy. You're on a public street.
"Speeding" is a relative term.
If someone wants to go 85 mph down a side street, then no, that's not safe and you shouldn't be speeding that way.
But what about when a township intentionally lowers the speed limit on a road solely to increase traffic ticket revenue? Of course they're going to market the idea as being for "safety", but the real intentions are obvious.
If they lower the speed limit on a highway from 65 mpg down to 40 mph for no apparent reason and without legit legal power to do that, if you go 60 on that street, are you really speeding?
A law is a law is a law. Here comes that sense of entitlement everyone seems to have now.

What if I disagree with the law? What if most people disagree with the law? I don't have the right to? because it's the law?
That sense of entitlement that everyone seems to have is a general principle laid out in the Constitution of the United States. People are supposed to have power over their government.
If "a law is a law is a law", then what happens if they get more bold and take away freedom of speech? Or enact an unconstitutional curfew?
Asians were interned during WW2. They could have been Japanese spies, gotta protect the USA. Later on it was decided that it wasn't right, but hey, a law is a law is a law.

Most people hate to pay their taxes too, but it's against the law not to. It's a slippery slope situation.

nonsense... I should have the right to protest the taxes as well... problem is, at this point the government has gotten so complex the laws and taxes and regulations are so buried in complexity that it's nearly impossible to fight that which we don't agree with.

People in New Jersey hated to pay their increased taxes after Florio took office. We struck the taxes back down to 6%.
They tried to shove it down our throats and we pushed back and got our way. 6% is a number that most people can agree with. Sure, some people would like 0%, but most people understand that the state needs some money.
his post was about the nanny state the gov. is creating. edit know what, now that i reread ur edit i think you were being sarcastic!!!!!
There's a number of rights I would die for. It seems that the US governement sees it fit to take these rights from their people.
I guess soon we'll need to add Flag Burning to the list of freedoms we no longer have.
I wouldnt burn a flag... but I should have the right to.

if you're talking about the potential amendment to constitution, it was defeated yesterday so.....
