The law is somehow always flexible in only one direction.
If a government body says it can store a train full of shit just outside your backyard indefinitely, and you disagree, then oh, ah, no - sorry, there seems to be absolutely no legal framework that we can operate within that will get the train removed within your lifetime.
But on the other hand, another government body forgets to protect some electronic documents, and a teenager downloads them just by guessing incremental id:s, then just a phone call later the teen is swatted by 14 cops, and should be so lucky that they didn't even kill the dog. Well they had if there was a dog to kill.

(Not that the neighbors can't block it from traveling from within their borders; they can only block it from stopping and offloading the cargo within their borders).
