This argument fails in the same way that “I’ve got nothing to hide” arguments against privacy fail. Even if someone is not currently running afoul of the current government’s current definition of a particular illegal act, we still might not want to grant them absolute power to enforce. These definitons of illegality tend to change (read: expand) over time, and when governments change they tend not to give back powers they’ve been granted.
