I would suggest that it is not obviously wrong and not obviously right - I think perhaps that for every scenario that could be put forward to support this hypothesis, another could be put to contradict it. I'm not disputing this (or supporting it) yet - perhaps it comes down to semantics in the end, but could you suggest a hypothetical (or real) situation where you see this occurring? Haven't we been removing rights from people for the convenience of the community since civilisation began. Isn't that what a speed limit, or anti-pollution law, or even a one-way laneway is?
