> I'm just a regular guy who really has nothing to hide

I think you are wrong. We all have things to hide.

A joke between friends taken out of context. Your angry messages to a spouse or parent after a fight happened between you and them could be used out of context also. And what about your YouTube history and playlist or your web history...

> just your own home

Your home can be searched and all your devices at home can be seized as well. Granted it's probably a higher threshold than having everything on your phone but it's no a panacea either.

You need a warrant to search my home. That's my whole point. Warrantless access is the issue.

Get a warrant, and I will happily show you anything you want. Nothing will be found because at the end of the tunnel, I actually have nothing to hide, I'm just a regular guy is my point.
