Whole conspiracy theories are spread in order to detract from the real ones. UFOs were originally cover for actual Secret military aircraft. Anyone who said they saw a UFO would be dismissed as a lunatic. The government has covered up chemical poisoning. Just look at agent organe and burn pits during the Gulf war. They've done all kinds of abhorrent shit and anytime someone comes out with a theory about a corporation or government trying to do some shady shit they get dismissed as crazy.

Just look at privacy invasion. If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about. You're just being paranoid! They have privately owned license plate readers that any law enforcement officer can access without a warrant. That's a lot different than them tracking your phone. A police officer can use that to come after anyone they don't like or spy on their spouse or ex. Insanity.
