Supreme Court affirms that those with nothing to hide need not fear surveillance, while emphasizing citizens' right to privacy.

This is in India, but coming soon to a country near you (or the one you are in already).

    I heard a lawyer argue something like this once in court, regarding the the fourth and fifth amendments:

    These laws are not meant to protect the innocent, they are meant to protect criminals. The founding fathers who penned it were traitors and seditionists who fought a war against their own country. They wrote these laws so that guilty people would be able to avoid punishment if proper procedures aren’t followed, and certain rights aren’t upheld.

    I’m not sure how much I agree with that, but it was definitely an interesting take.
