There's no need to shout, unless of course it makes you feel better.

Unfortunately, there is :-( It at least gets attention. In my
life, I have seen catastrophic erosion of civil rights due to people
not standing up for them. And this has often or usually started by
a large amount of propaganda saying that they aren't rights, or that
they shouldn't be rights.

There's some logic there; but it's not uncommon for an action to be
unlawful under more than one law. I wouldn't consider helping myself
to the produce of your land -- especially if I thought you might catch
me.

So you regard people picking wild blackberries as morally no better
than thieves? Because that is the logical consequence of your
position.
