That's a matter of opinion. If someone is getting harassed for exercising their right, and nothing can be done about it because the authorities are in on the harassment, I would call that an infringement of the right.

I'm confused, doesn't what you wrote mean "treat others as they would like to be treated"? I have a headache so that might be the issue.
Well it's really the reverse combined with the thought that everyone is using the golden rule.

But yeah that's what it means.
If they are using the golden rule, they are treating me the way they want to be treated. So since I obviously am not going to be treated with the respect that I want from these jokers, I'll give them the level of respect they want instead.
