I have a lot of things to hide from criminals and little to hide from the police. I fear your metaphor is a fallacy...

If people dont want to be naked in public it s because they expect onlookers to abuse of their image to exploit it, there s an argument to say that the police isn't at risk of doing so.

I'm not saying you re wrong in principle, just that your easy fallacy is just that.

It's reasonable to expect the police not to abuse nude photos of you. But they've done so time and again:

I don't want want anyone to know what I had for dinner last night. It doesn't mean it was something illegal or even out of the ordinary. It is just not anybody's business to know that.

I fear your assumption that these groups are disjoint is a fallacy.
