"We have reached a tipping point where almost anything we do in our lives can be reviewed in a manner so that it can be deemed illegal."
We passed that point a long time ago. In the '90s the OMB (Office of Management and Budget, or some such farce) estimated that over 90% of US citizens were guilty of a jailable offense. Since the Patriot Act everyone in the world is not even required to be considered guilty of a criminal act to be tortured for as long as they can keep them alive, in secret, without any legal process at all.
Law no longer exists, in practical effect. I am confident that it never really has, TBQH.
That doesn't mean that justice in no longer real. It only means that there is a very good reason to pander, dissemble, and suck up to the thugs in power. It also means that those in power are very clearly no more than thugs.
Thanks!
