A neighbor in my old neighborhood was a young-ish detective and loved to talk about "If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about".

I heard a story on NPR on why that's not a good argument and they laid out an example of how to turn it around on someone that uses it.

So I asked my neighbor if I could see his wallet because I was in the market for one and his looked nice and that it held a lot of stuff. He handed it to me and was like "Yea sure I got it for fathers day". So as I'm looking at it and talking with the guy I open the wallet and start pulling his insurance card and license out telling him that I just wanted to see how tightly it held the cards. Then after about the third card (I think it was something with personal info on it) he snatches his wallet back and was like "Dude that's not cool" and I just told him "If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about" and of course I get the "That's different" but you could see the gears turning in his head.

What an :marseyautism: neighbor

I’m sure he was convinced by that stunning argument

Those gears were probably playing a rendition of this in his mind
