Hello citizen. I'll be monitoring you on your walk today! Enjoy your safety. What? That's a violation of my privacy. If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.

Which defeats the whole point of separation of powers. So you're saying you have something to hide! Yes. I've been recording this conversation. That's a violation of my privacy!
Well played, guy-with-the-cell-phone.
