"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," says the government... As they hide cameras in trailers and construction barrels.

This appears to be illegal, and if laws still mattered in the United States, maybe somebody would get in trouble for it.

This seems like a golden opportunity for a lot of groups to rally behind James Cordero, though:

  • Pro-life people have got to support a group called No More Deaths.
  • Christians believe strongly that Christians should give food and water to the hungry and thirsty.
  • Gavin Newsom seems like a cool guy, based on what I know about him (which is his Twitter presence and nothing more).

    "if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide" should be quoted back to them as we ask for their address.

    The nothing to fear rhetoric is always spouted by people who assume the government has their best interest at heart and won't use gathered data against them to frame them for something illegal that they didn't do.
