Freedom is freedom to abuse. If it can't be abused, then you aren't really free. Take stalking as an example: until somebody gets hurt, how do you *prove* that somebody is stalking you? Twenty-four hour surveillance of the purported stalker? If you stalk them, then you can prove that they stalk you?
The freedoms granted be the Bill of Rights in the American Constitution are not Good Things. They are Bad Things that are protected by our highest laws, because not having them would be worse. Freedom is, and always will be, dangerous stuff.
