They don't and that's called privacy. Seems I didn't make my point clear that saying "I don't have anything to hide" is perfectly fine when applying to anything criminal.

It's NOT the same as saying "I don't care about privacy".

If you commit a crime and hide that, that's a crime.

If you give out your address, that's not a crime and yes stupid to do, but you're not going to prison for it.

Highlighting that people conflate hiding things with privacy and they're just not the same.

Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with Venn diagrams. The area of overlap between the two concepts is called having something to hide.

You can quibble with the word "hide" but it came from the original post, and it serves just fine. You're free to write your own post that doesn't use that phrasing.
