Your examples are at least semi-valid except for this one:

> Reporting on court proceedings can get you arrested.

I assume you're referring to the case of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He was charged with contempt of court for violating a blanket ban on broadcasting of the proceedings of a specific trial. The ban was imposed by the judge as it was "necessary for avoiding a substantial risk of prejudice to the administration of justice in these proceedings".

Does your adherence to freedom trump the right to have a fair trial?
