Exactly why does he want to deny the reality that our security state follows our laws?

It’s not as if those laws are all that stringent, but somehow it’s not enough to criticize what we already knew existed, somehow we have to invent fictional problems to get excited over.

Because the “lawless security apparatus” is part of the fantasy. The people who buy into the fantasy do so because they don’t want to deal with reality. They’ve come to find their fantasized ‘freedom fighter’ persona fulfilling, and it is something for which they will deny reality before giving it up.

The reasons for the acceptance of the fantasy differ and for the most part moonbats buy into it for different reasons than wingnuts. But the disconnect from reality remains a constant.
