I take a pretty extreme stance when it comes to these arguments: That social contract of which you speak, is routinely ignored and shit on by Federal, State, and local authorities when it suits their interests.

For them to play loosey-goosey with it and expect the normies to abide by it without question is ludicrous.

Cases of mistaken identity, action based on bad information, and people losing their lives or being incarcerated incorrectly as a result are in the news every day.

So, IMO, they're not entitled to fuck all anything ala this "social contract".
