By existing in a database, not only can your data and actions be taken out of context to make a damning case against you, you run the risk of being a false positive in an investigation[1].
In the case dragnet surveillance, you will constantly become a suspect in investigations based on where you were, what you look like, etc.
If your data doesn't exist in some database, at best you won't be caught up in a dragnet investigation. And at worst, your lack of data saves you from expensive court battles and imprisonment over something you didn't do.
