One of the best protections against invasion of privacy and feature creep is to require an independently obtained warrant that is served to the person in question.
Firstly, this allows the general public to get an idea of how much governments or police are interfering in people's lives but secondly, the enforcers have to convince someone (usually a judge) that their case has merit before they start defaming someone or taking away their liberty.
We shouldn't be as scared about lacking privacy as we should be about the fact that our privacy can be invaded with little oversight and sometimes without us even knowing about it!
Also, we need to speak up for those who are much more likely to be affected by privacy invasions (black, Muslim, other minorities etc.) even if we are white and don't think it will be a problem for us personally.
