It's almost like people think that they should be entitled to rights, or something. Perhaps the government should give them some rights, in that case.
Are you living in Australia? Just curious to understand where is this belief coming from.
I lived there for a long time. Australia is just so politically aligned with the USA that most Australians just think they’re entitled to most of the same freedoms by default.
Fwiw, it seems to be true in UK that people without legal training think most of what they see in the media about "the law" relates to them. Things like Miranda rights. I assume that's just because most of our A-tier media comes from USA.
