Government intimidation of the practice of constitutional rights... what ever could go wrong.

I was replying specifically to this:

> This seems like a good example of that being enough metadata to be a big problem

I was not saying it's not a problem that the feds are doing this, because that's not what I was replying to.

That seems like a weak argument.

I mean, carrying a weapon is a 2nd amendment right, but if I bring it to a protest and then start intimidating people with it, the police going after me is not "Government intimidation of the practice of constitutional rights".

Protesting is a constitution right, but if you break the law while protesting, you're fair game for prosecution.
