It can be useful to consider that information can be sought by authorities for other reasons than apprehending criminals, such as identifying people participating in protests. Worse yet, there are corrupt agencies and agents that use such powers to commit crimes.

In fact, it is such criminal corruption that prompted the founders of the USA to limit government via the Constitution as best they could, and it is those constitutional protections that seek to prevent government from being used as a tool by criminal gangs to prey on sovereign people that are being circumvented by these law enforcement agencies.

This is why innocent people need to protect themselves from surveillance, limit police and government power, and ensure constitutional limits on government power are maintained and even increased. Do a few searches for crimes committed by police, and you will find thousands and thousands of examples of police using their powers to rape, pimp, sell illegal drugs, murder, and rob innocent people.

When honest good people use lawful power to do good, everyone profits. Innocent people don't seek to use laws to commit crimes, and so find it difficult to imagine how they can be used to do evil. Bad people seek positions of power so they can do bad things. Government is force. 'Government is like fire, a fearful servant and a terrible master.'--George Washington.

Just like fire, make sure no bad things come from the government you control. Just like fire, if you let it get out of control, not just bad, but terrible things will happen.
