lmao in Canada it seems so staggering to explain to people that "I don't give a shit what's written on paper". Like so so many people just can't wrap their heads around the concept that a bunch of British boot lickers wearing suits in a building 150yrs ago (or more so 40yrs ago) write a "constitution" and then people just sit back and say "well the constitution says we can suspend rights in 'reasonable' situations". No. I don't give a shit, you can't just 'suspend' rights without a proper trial for a specific crime comitted by a specific person.
Lawyers are honestly some of the worst for this. Teachers too. This idea that the system is correct so what the system says is the norm and it's ok. I don't give a shit about the constitution of my country, it's meaningless words as far as I'm concerned.
