Right, but the virus was contained. A quarantine when you have as much COVID as anyone is petty.

Effectiveness is not metric that changes legality. A lot of government policy is ineffective does not make it illegal or unconstitutional .
When the rights are infringed upon just for the fuck of it without solid proof that it is to prevent endangering large amount of lives - maybe it is technically legal but I think it is crime.
You can make it illegal and actually a crime. The democratic way to make it one is either make that point democratically elected leaders in a civilized manner or vote against them next election and organize into parties/block to influence policy.

Terrorizing and hold regular people hostage with noise pollution, blockade and disrupt their lives is what revolutionary/terrorist organization would do.

If protestors behave like terrorists and insurgents then sooner or later they will be treated like one.
