Right, they should be protecting our rights, but most of what they do violates our rights. That’s the problem with government monopoly power. If police/security were privatized, and my HOA hired a police company to patrol our neighborhood, but instead the cops just set up revenue extortion checkpoints, then we could fire them and hire another company instead. Bad cops would get fired, and bad firms would go out of business.
