Okay, let's test this line of thought:
Do I have the freedom to murder someone? Should I commit murder (and be found guilty) there are certainly consequences, but as you say consequences are not the same thing as not having the freedom. If that's the case, what is unfree or the opposite of freedom, in practice?
