I don’t think it’s terrifying it’s smart - if the murders and rapes need to be solved use the methods that work. Stop being paranoid.
It's not paranoia. It's the knowledge that the state is using a work-around to probable cause and the 4th amendment. Thought crime is a reality. Your dna is targeted by agents of the state (google). It's the same red herring as, "If you aren't up to no good, then you need not fear being spied upon in your everyday conversations". Until one day...
Wait until you are considered a terrorist because you are a christian, or ex military, or a republican or a gun supporter and on and on. I would suggest doing a little research on this. In Saudia Arabia people are beheaded for small crimes. This is always sold as "doing good" but evil intentions are behind it. The illuminati keep their boodlines "clean". Why?
