Pardon me, but this sounds like ‘I’ve got nothing to hide’ or ‘Don’t be an enemy of the state.’ Daily I could inundate your email with example after example of people who have been surveilled, but not doing anything illegal. Protestors, average citizens speaking out. In America we have rights to protest against our government. They weren’t doing anything wrong either except exercising their rights as an American citizen.
You see, governments like their own self imposed status quo. Everything and everyone in a nice neat little box, each sorted, collated, and stapled into their respective groups. Here comes Paula protestor and she may have an LGBTQ+ agenda. Personally LGBTQ+ rights are covered under ‘We the people find these truths to be self evident.’ In other words, duh! No explanation needed. How is Paula protestor seen by the government? She is seen as an adversary because she represents instability to the government’s self imposed status quo. If you speak out against the government, you are also seen as an adversary. etc et al
You don’t have to be doing something illegal to be surveilled.
