Part of living in a society is the Social Contract. We give up some freedoms in exchange for state protection and benefits. My neighbor can't lite a tire fire in their backyard for example. I can't drive with my chains on tires year round. I can't dump toxic chemicals in the river. etc. In exchange for these restrictions I gain protection via due process, the right to participate in elections. Protections for my property and welfare, etc.
I may not like some of the restrictions, but where society has deemed my freedoms to infringe upon those of others, they have been restricted. For a more recent example look at immigration law. Many are frustrated that the government can't restrict visa applications by ethnicity. Society has decided that it infringes upon others rights for the government to differentiate by ethnicity. We all benefit from that protection, either now or in the future.
The authoritarian argument is that the government doesn't do what I want, so the government must be illegitimate. To make such an argument is a bit ridiculous. You need to prove the government is both violating your rights/freedoms in a way that produces a net negative greater than the benefit to society. There are a few freedoms which are very difficult to justify encroaching on. Life, property, general bodily autonomy, etc. The rest are open to restriction upon sufficient reason.
There are quite a few people who have this belief that the very idea of government is broken. They have nothing but disdain for career civil servants. They do not believe the government can be fixed, and are focused on the harm it has done them. They ignore the huge successes of government that support and enable their day to day lives. Electric power, safe water, roads, school systems, military, border control, housing, financial regulation, social services, the legal system, police forces, etc.
There is no solution to society outside these government services. The deconstructive "libertarian" approach is a dead end. The final result of this ad-absurdum approach is something akin to Somalia.
If there are specific claims of abuse, waste, or corruption in an agency. Direct them to the attorney or inspector general. Vote in the primaries for politicians who will take this issue to task. Email your local representative. A big problem today is that all news is national, so all politics is national. This results in local and state politics languishing with no news coverage to keep the pressure on politicians. It also reduces interest in local elections (both for voters and those who run for office). This results in fewer great civil servants in the pipeline to be leaders of tomorrow.
Claiming civil disobedience in this case is a bit absurd. It denies the harm in the behavior, and trivializes many of the great acts against unfair laws of the past. As an example, the government requires a shop to dispose of their waste in a responsible fashion. But its expensive, heavy metal contamination means it costs 10s of thousands a year! Its not the shops fault they bought machines that were expensive to maintain! They didn't know! Is it okay for them to dump the waste in the local waterway? Its not a large amount, and can't be detected down stream. What happens when a thousand shops start doing it?
