There are lots of things that governments do that are unconstitutional. Checkstops are unconstitional, as are the french language laws in Quebec. A lot of things that child protective services do are unconstitutional. In some cases courts have decided that the benefit to society is greater than the cost imposed. In the Quebec case I think the government has invoked the notwithstanding clause.
