Governments don't have rights. They didn't spring fully formed from the wombs of other governments without a say in the matter.

They have privileges. Provisional privileges derived from the people (or at least that is what some very drunk men in wigs seemed to imply). I don't like it when my government uses dressed-up faux authority (DHS just issues itself administrative "warrants") as the basis for assaulting people. Seems pretty cut-and-dry wrong. And as responses go, really lopsided.

So here I am... making a fuss about it.
