The “nothing to hide” argument is disingenuous because it is based on the perspective of each person.

The person saying it will believe they have done everything right.

An outsider can only judge based on their own understanding and beliefs.

If the outsider person judging or convicting only cares about getting the W conviction, they will go to whatever lengths they feel are needed to get the W. This is how the US justice system works. If you allow search, they don’t need to find evidence of the original crime, just any crime. There are also some who manufacture crime or stage it to raise this W rate.

Unless you really trust all parties in to be fair in judgement, the statement itself doesn’t hold ground since it usually will end with conflict or burden of proof.

If I said I have nothing to hide in a game where there are no consequences in losing the game, people aren’t going to go at great lengths to prove me wrong because I might not be happy with them which is a lasting consequence compared to a single loss. If it comes with a paycheck, there’s people who would do literally anything.
