Are you really that sure you're not breaking any laws? Are you sure what you're doing today won't be against the law tomorrow? Not so long ago we had a law that protected us from gratuitous search and seizure. It was called the constitution. Your confidence that you don't need protection from the government because you are doing nothing wrong is naive. Very, very naive.
