Violation of rights under color of law does not equal the natural limitations of natural rights to provide for the equal right of all others to exercise their equal rights. Your examples are stupid; is it on purpose?

I see the problem. You've made the unwarranted, unvalidated assumption that I am including in "violating Constitutional rights" the abridgement inherent in emergency orders, e.g. public health orders. That is, for sure, a place where context matters; that has its limits, and the governors (e.g. Whitmer/Cuomo/Newsome and NOT Noem) are fast running out of rope, because they have arrogated to themselves limitless authority to abridge citizens' rights on the basis of their feelings and fears. They have an obligation to the common weal that exists in tension with their obligation to not only refrain from infringing but to protect natural rights. When in doubt, any individual's personal interpretation of "common weal" is subordinate to natural rights. But, obviously, the People give their consent to limited infringement on their rights under certain circumstances (e.g., pandemic). If the governors overstep, they get push back; that's happening now. They could serve their states better by identifying explicit criteria and daily updates to those criteria, by which they would make decisions about extension, amendment, and termination of their public health orders. To the degree which their citizens understand and agree with those criteria, the governors will enjoy the authorizing inherent in the will of the people.

Now, back to the meme; I was specifically referring to the violations of Constitution rights comprised by illegal search and seizure, and violations of due process regarding the mandate to divulge all evidence, including exculpatory, perpetrated by members of our Federal law enforcement agencies and DoJ, in the course of the MYE and CFH investigations (mostly CROSSFIRE HURRICANE).
