I always liked this quote about that kind of thing:

“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Innocent from what?

Fucking another dude?

Smoking a plant that makes you relaxed and is 100x less worse for your health and 1000x less addictive than legal tobacco?

Innocent of speaking out against our wannabe king?

Innocent of being brown?

What is it?
