This is a similar problem that citizens face across the globe, even in countries with functioning democracies. There are often mechanisms to reverse decisions made by a public body or person who enforces something incorrectly, for example if you're wrongfully arrested and/or charged for a crime that you actually haven't committed, because the police or prosecutor or legislators are interpreting the law incorrectly.
Yes, in the end you will be let free (or the law will be overturned) but in the interim you've had your freedoms denied, mounted up a whole lot of expenses, probably lost your job and maybe even your family. The people responsible go "Oops, nevermind" and move on with their lives whilst you are left to deal with the consequences.
It's a real flaw in the system of all of our western democracies, in my opinion.
