Of course not. Those examples are not examples of someone "merely exercising their right". They are examples of people knowingly violating the laws associated with that right for selfish reasons, rather than rational ones. That's why it's irresponsible. People need to have more personal responsibility and stop playing the victim. They make a decision to violate the laws, they need to slap on a pair of balls and accept the consequences for it, not play the victim.
“Laws” which are enacted and enforced illegally, in blatant violation of the Constitution; for the specific purpose of violating these rights which the Constitution explicitly affirms.
Politicians, judges, and police officers made the decision to violate the Constitution. What justification can there possibly be for punishing honest citizens for the illegal activity of public servants? I say that it is the corrupt public servants who need to be held responsible, and to bear significant consequences for their malfeasance.
