If your safety depends on your obedience, then you are neither free nor safe. You are a slave.
Politicians and police claim the right to do to you, what you cannot rightly do to them. Do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind? Perhaps they imagine that political rituals like voting can somehow alter the fabric of reality, bestowing upon them through voter delegation these "rightful wrongs," of which no voter possessed in the first place.
Any logically-consistent mind will recognize and dismiss such ridiculous claims as fraudulent.

I must have said this at least a dozen times in the past few months, and I will say it again:
"Everyone has the EXACT same rights as everyone else!"
If it is right for me to do something, then it is also right for all other human beings to do that thing. If it is wrong for me to do something, then it is also wrong for all other human beings to do that thing.
No shiny badge, fancy black robes or spiffy-looking police costume can grant someone extra rights that all other human beings don't also possess. Yet look around at how many individuals have been trained to imagine that the police have the right to do to you, what you have no right to do to them! Look at how many individuals on this planet imagine that politicians possess the right to impose restrictions upon you, but who would view you as a violent criminal if you tried to impose those exact same restrictions upon others.
Do I have the right to impose restrictions on what a peaceful individual can or cannot ingest into or do with their own body? Do I have the right to impose restrictions on what goods or services a peaceful individual may or may not voluntarily trade with others? Do I have the right to kidnap ("arrest") and cage a peaceful person if they disobey me? Do I have the right to use force or threats of force to take money that does not belong to me, from another peaceful person who has harmed nobody? If not, then neither does anybody else on this planet!
