Nobody's a criminal, until they are.
I wonder what it would be like to hold no opinions that you could ever imagine becoming controversial enough to get you flagged for investigation of some kind. I live in an intensely polarized country (U.S.), so it's actually hard for me to imagine caring about anything with any level of passion that one party or the other (heck, or both) wouldn't eventually want to put me on a watchlist for.
What's it like to have that much trust in the ongoing goodwill of other people?
