Bingo.

I don't have to prove that I will be harmed in order to refuse to allow someone to dig into my private life - rather you have to prove that any potential harm done to me by said digging is outweighed by a compelling need. And pages and pages of debate later, there has still not be one single piece of objective evidence provided that there is any actual problem here that needs solving.

This is pretty basic stuff, really. According to Camron's idea of "liberty" police should be allowed to search anyone's home anytime they like, even without a warrant - after all, if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't mind anyway...
