Technically, if they wanted to steal your private information and stalk you, all they have to do is get one little bit of strange information about you, enough to get a warrant for, say, searching your front porch for illegal drugs, and they could legally bend it around so that they could legally sit on your front porch, shooting the breeze with your cat, while you pout in the corner about the government stalking you. The only reason they don't is because currently there are a few rights in place which, at least, protects us partially from mass surveillance to the point where police wouldn't need to do searches because the NSA could find out the smallest detail just by mass surveillance means. It needs to stay that way. Mass surveillance needs to stop.
