Of course we all have something to hide. In a litigious society, nearly everyone has broken a law. When was the last time you ran a red light? Jaywalked? Downloaded a movie? Used drugs? More pointedly, is it really the government's business if someone is cheating on their spouse? The danger isn't that the government will find out about these things and prosecute everyone responsible for them. The danger is that you make an enemy in a position of power, and that person decides to hang you out to dry for your crimes or embarrassing incidents for their own political gain. Law stops being used as a tool for order, and is used as a political tool.
