>So they should have to actually break the law to get justice in a timely fashion?

Kinda like how you have to show you've been harmed to sue someone. Nice rules in theory, but in practice the government will use them like loopholes to keep themselves out of trouble.

These rules do not exist because the government used them as loopholes, these rules exist because citizens used them as loopholes to sue other citizens :)

The government was already protected.

For example, you literally cannot sue the US government for torts without its permission. This has been absolute since day 1 of our government.

The government has decided to abrogate immunity in a bunch of situations, but in general, the government was already protected from whatever it wanted to be.
