Ever read Judge Dredd comics? In one old one the Judges have the right to just walk into any citizen’s apartment and do a random search. Because there are so many laws, they always find something that’s illegal. One day the find a citizen with nothing contraband in their apartment. The rookie Judge wants to give the citizen a medal for being so upright, but Dredd triples the surveillance because only a really heinous monster would bother to keep their place so clean. [Of course, because it’s a comic, Dredd is right and the citizen is a Sov-City spy.]
You are the suspect. The police are there for you, to suspect and investigate you.
