Doesn't need to be a provision... common sense.

Well, if that's the case, we can do away with the Bill of Rights. After all, the government can always be trusted to do the right and fair things in regards to its citizens. (/sarcasm)

No you're just getting obnoxious. The "common sense" wasn't saying that we can trust the government to do the right thing. the "common sense" is that the government would be incapable of doing what you suggest because they simply do not have the ability to collect the information necessary to do it.
