You said it. The law prof who made the video "Don't Talk to Police" made the point that with 10,000 federal laws on the books, it is possible, if the government wants, for it to find one and accuse you of it, if they want. And I think when you cross them, they *do* want. So, almost limitless ability to gather information about you + thousands of laws with which to charge you = an ability to at the very least threaten you into silence and at worst charge you with a crime to shut you up.
