You have to draw the line somewhere. It is a balance between reasonnable information for the police and privacy.

Except when you're linked to an investigation, you don't have to proove you're innocent of any crime. Still, all those laws seems to think the opposite : police will have access to all your data like if you were convicted. Guilty until prooven innocent.

Beside, it's not like governments never abuse this kind of info.

I'm just saying what is the status quo, at least in my country. But I assume it is the same in the US. If you have a car, you need to register a license plate. If you live somewhere, you have to announce your residency to the administration of your city.

I am not advocating anything.
