Treason doth never prosper,
What's the reason?
Why, if it prosper,
None dur'st call it treason!
Today's terrorists are tomorrow's freedom fighters.

Most if not all governments that are overthrown by a revolution had lost
legitimaticy in the eyes of their people. That is what made the
revolution possible in the first place. The government that replaces
them then tries with greater or lesser success to become legitimate.
Some by appealing to the people some by repressing the people both by
declaring themselves legitimate and making their overthrow illegal. In
some cases the first works, in some the second in some neither works.

1776 AD - Thirteen English colonies in North America declare themselves
seperate and sovereign from the British Empire and begin a revolution.

I'll swear it's getting even worse here in the U.S. I have a friend
who was involved in one of those automobile "accidents" where a bunch
of people forced him into a rear-end collision so they could rip off
his insurance. Since then he installed a video system in his car--
it's the EXACT type that many police agencies use in their patrol
cars. He has cameras front and back and sides.
He got pulled over by a cop, and as the cop was talking to him, he
warned the police officer that he was being videotaped and recorded.
The cop went ballistic, and ordered my friend to turn it off. My
friend refused. He was arrested, and his car was impounded. Seems
there is a law in his county that forbids anyone from videotaping
police officers in a manner in which the officer believes will
interfere with his actions, and anyone MUST cease videotaping a police
officer when so ordered. The case hasn't been to court yet. My guess
is that my friend will win, but it will cost him mucho in legal fees.
In the meantime they have also impounded the recordings as evidence--
not the content of the recordings, but the recordings themselves
(there's a fine legal difference between those two things). They did
it in a manner that tries to keep him from using what's on the
recordings in his defense.
It seems that the government can videotape you anytime and anywhere
they want, but the citizenry better not try it the other way around.
