Obviously if you kill someone and are arrested then your right to arms and liberty are temporarily forfeit

2019-09-28 20:37:24 UTC  

Ok, so you mean context

2019-09-28 20:37:51 UTC  

Laws must address the context of you having infringed on someone else's freedom

2019-09-28 20:37:57 UTC  

If someone commits a crime they are not allowed to just walk away in the name of freedom and liberty

2019-09-28 20:38:04 UTC  

Ok, right

2019-09-28 20:38:26 UTC  

They can obviously be detained and their freedom can be temporarily ended

2019-09-28 20:38:44 UTC  

And this is where the problem starts, because obviously it means that an investigation must happen before it can be determined who was in the right and who wasn't

2019-09-28 20:38:55 UTC  

And that investigation is the part that gets corrupted

2019-09-28 20:39:07 UTC  

There could of course be some problems in a justice system

2019-09-28 20:39:50 UTC  

But i think that it would be worth it for the sake of freedom and it can work on a basic level for resolving disputes between two sane parties

2019-09-28 20:40:22 UTC  

Uhm

2019-09-28 20:40:30 UTC  

That part would be for the sake of justice and order, not freedom

2019-09-28 20:41:00 UTC  

You obviously need some level of order infringing on freedom to maintain a functional society

2019-09-28 20:41:06 UTC  

Right

2019-09-28 20:41:11 UTC  

So who watches that?

2019-09-28 20:41:27 UTC  

Who watches those with the power to infringe on freedom?

2019-09-28 20:41:36 UTC  

Elected officials

2019-09-28 20:41:52 UTC  

But they're one and the same, aren't they?

2019-09-28 20:41:57 UTC  

I see your point

2019-09-28 20:43:40 UTC  

We could just have a constitution of how freedoms can be forfeited from an individual and if the government ignores it then civil unrest could resolve it since they would be facing an armed populace

2019-09-28 20:44:08 UTC  

Who enforces that? Another group of elected/appointed officials?

2019-09-28 20:44:34 UTC  

Yeah basically

2019-09-28 20:44:49 UTC  

The elected don't really have an incentive to handicap themselves

2019-09-28 20:44:51 UTC  

Someone else must do it

2019-09-28 20:45:16 UTC  

The people would have to enforce it if the government breaks those rules @Drywa11

2019-09-28 20:45:24 UTC  

who watches the watchers?
the watched

2019-09-28 20:45:31 UTC  

But what if those rules weren't installed in the first place?

2019-09-28 20:45:34 UTC  

Who installs it, and how?

2019-09-28 20:45:56 UTC  

Well in current society we could simply have a slow reform to it

2019-09-28 20:46:21 UTC  

I don't know, it doesn't seem to be happening

2019-09-28 20:46:31 UTC  

Reduced Laws and reduced government power, Increased Personal freedom can all be introduced overtime

2019-09-28 20:46:48 UTC  

Doing it all within a matter of days would of course not work

2019-09-28 20:47:04 UTC  

I'm actually concerned it will never happen if slow reform is the only valid option

2019-09-28 20:47:16 UTC  

Well it would be the only proper way

2019-09-28 20:47:21 UTC  

Why?

2019-09-28 20:47:39 UTC  

Imagine what would happen in the US if the government want from managing many things to just maintaining law and order

2019-09-28 20:47:45 UTC  

If the elected infringe on the rules, don't we have the right to stop them using force?

2019-09-28 20:47:52 UTC  

Yes

2019-09-28 20:48:19 UTC  

Civil unrest from an armed populace would prevent the officials from breaking the rules of the constitution

2019-09-28 20:48:27 UTC  

If public opinion is the only thing ultimately protecting against tyranny, then wouldn’t it be easier to limit a firm/individual than a government that is given the legitimacy to do things others aren’t allowed to?

2019-09-28 20:48:58 UTC  

So if the rules that would allow a civil uprising in case of rulebreaking don't exist yet, but we want them to exist, then we can't rise with force because the rules aren't in place yet, etc... it's a perpetual cycle
