If you are not doing anything illegal then there is no need for law
enforcement to see your papers.

The point sir is that a lot of us feel it's better if a few criminals go
free than if a few innocent people get locked up. You can't apply standard
security practices to a population, or you would have to lock up everyone
and then release those who are not guilty.

The point is a little deeper than that.

How much can we trust the government ? Or, rather, how much can we
trust the people (as in "down to the last one") that work on/for
the government ? Are 100% of the government employees trusthworthy ?
Are you really willing to give everyone there (again: the employees)
a 'carte blanch' to get and maybe use your information ?

Again: even if you think the government is legit, and has real reasons
to do it, are you sure you can trust everyone that has access to the
information ?

On a more philosofical note, how much can you trust someone who distrust
everyone else ?
