There is a set of presumptions that government can be trusted.

You save money in government scheme pension plan, the government decides if you are eligible to have them back, how can they be trusted?

You pay taxes unwilingly for you already know the government is going to misuse the money anyway, government people are going to steal them money for their villas through the chain of contracting against a bribe, but you are supposed to trust your government.

If a low life steals from you, legally, through a corporation scheme like Amazon, government tells you that is a dispute, win it or lose it, you are on your own, but if you tell the truth about such practices all of a sudden the government takes you to jail for defamation, and you are supposed to trust government.

If you lie to the government is jailtime for you, but if government lies to you, sends you to murder other people or get murdered by them defending themselves, lies to you about the use of your tax money, and generally lies to you on a daily basys, that is OK, is politics, and you must trust the government.

If you reveal government lies and deceit against it's own population or third countries population, you go to jail for telling the truth, for not supporting your government lies, but you must trust your government.

I could go on like this for decades, from National Health Government practices, to government in bed with corporations practices, to government illegally appropriating of unions money, pensions, savings funds of people practices, to government siding with the low life that broke into your house and threaten your family life, can't touch them, can't beat them, but is allright if they kill you, more, they become national heroes like Floyd if somehow killed while doing their job (which is to steal, torture and kill citizens as long as not politicians) and so on and so forth.

But I don't have to do that to reach to a simple conclusion; never trust a government, any government, nor any agency, authority, or similar be it in the service of a government or in the service of a corporation/religion/political movement or party,
Ever.
