sometimes preserving the civil rights of citizens results in undesired consequences.
we don't like extending the right of free speech to hatemongers such as the nazis or the klan.
we also cannot deny civil rights to criminals merely because they are truly evil people.
when a criminal gets off due to violation of their rights when they were caught, it maintains that right for those who are not guilty but get arrested anyway.
it's a tough trade off, but we must preserve the civil rights for all in spite of the risk.
