Wrong. This kind of thinking is how we get our rights taken away from us.
Personal privacy (which, unlike driving, *is* a constitutional right) is
not intended only for those trying to hide wrongdoing. Everybody (except
for John Lennon and his monkey) has something to hide. Would you want a
stranger walking into your house and going through your personal things?
Would you want the police to pull you over just to look through your
checkbook? How about letting a state trooper flip through those polaroids
you snapped of your lady last night? (Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink) What?? You
wouldn't?? But if you haven't done anything wrong what have you got to
hide? I certainly don't agree with Aaron's "nobody tells me what to do"
attitude, but don't judge him just because he doesn't want every Tom, Dick
and Officer Harry looking into his truck.

I wonder how much deeper the
ocean would be without sponges.
