Some people subscribe to the "if it's only used on the bad guys then we have nothing to worry about" - but the problem is, what if you find yourself, one day, defined as one of the bad guys? Things like government spying tools (and robot armies) don't just go away when different politicians get elected; when different laws, that you may or may not agree with, get passed, and you find that you can't even hide in the sanctuary of your own home and do what you want.
