    I get your example, and agree with the premise that “if you have nothing to hide…” is never a good argument, but if someone had security cameras surrounding/within their house, and 4 different locks on their bedroom door, and then a high quality safe in the bedroom, I would absolutely think there’s something more than sex toys in there. That’s still never a valid basis to search their stuff, but if there was nothing significant in there, that would feel odd.

      I completely disagree. It may feel excessive, but my only thought would be “there’s someone who cares about privacy.” We only assume this stuff is weird because we’ve indirectly encouraged only weirdos to do these things. If we instead normalize it as just part of home security, like locking your doors, then it’s just another thing careful people do.
