I feel like I could, but I'm not an asshole and normally don't shout obscenities to people doing their job. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

It's not about being an asshole.
It's about verifying that those rights exist.

When we first think, "I would be able to exercise that right in theory, but it would be rude," that tells me that as the oppessor all I need to do is convince people that being rude is worse than being free.

Not everyone is suited to challenge authority, but if no one feels safe doing so then the dominoes of fascism have already begun to fall.

The least we can do is film, document, report, and support those who make the challenge.
