What is illegal from the lockdown?

• version_five 5y ago
  In my country (not Spain) our government broke many laws (violated the constitution) in the name of covid restrictions. They decided it was ok because of public health. But laws are pointless if they can just be ignored when the government wants to. So in the sense of discussion, I think "illegal" is probably appropriate here, otherwise "in violation of post-enlightenment liberal democratic norms" maybe?

Because elites live under state sponsored anarcho-capitalism. It's only illegal if you're found out and then only if you find someone to prosecute you(cash only verdicts don't count for obvious reasons).
