I specifically mentioned selective enforcement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_enforcement

There are over 3000 FEDERAL criminal offenses on the books. (As an estimate, even the gov can't tell you exactly how many. If you think ALL of these fall under common sense then you are kidding yourself. Have you read the thousands of pages that span dozens of volumes to be sure you aren't an offender?

You've conveniently side stepped my main first point, which is that we have a right to privacy, and that right has NOTHING to do with our presumed guilt or innocence. To use the argument "I have nothing to hide" misses the point entirely. If you want to walk around exposed, that's fine, but don't argue that the rest of us should be made to.
