On: People with nothing to hide

Here's the thing - in theory the NSA knows about every corrupt cop in the country based on their calls, emails and financial data.

Yet they've done nothing. Interesting situation.

I think the movement towards total surveilence should be accompanied by redefining from scratch of what actions can be persecuted by using evidence from such surveilence.

This might be the only opportunity to shed cruft that accumulated in our laws and to give total surveilence some public legitimacy.

People are mostly afraid of surveilence because laws and morality nowadays are batshit crazy from all the cruft from previous times and you can't be sure if you are doing anything illegal.
