    There is an important point that I cannot find Snowden making about
    'I have nothing to hide'.
    With laws becoming more numerous and more complex, everyone will break some law, it might be un-authorized use of a computer; parking, speeding, mistake in a tax return and such like.
    With property and individual rights respected, Misdemeaning is given the importance deserved- nothing or next to nothing. With increased surveillance even low key law enforcement gets tempted to compile evidence, those with fewer scruples now have tools to select and persecute trivial offenders for political reasons.
    Well described by Rand (AS) and Orwell (1984).
