I did not deny what I said, it remains true. You may not steal my identity in public, this is true. This demonstrates that I have some above ZERO expectation to privacy in public.
The real problem here is that you think you said something you didn't.
It's clear that just because you are in public you haven't waived all rights to privacy, however, any part of you or part of your property that is readily visible to others in the public no longer has an expectation of privacy or right to privacy. If you're naked in public, you have waived your right to privacy of your person. If you carry a bloody knife openly in public, that may be used against you in a trial if that bloody knife is material to a crime. Likewise, if you invite police into your home and they see a bloody knife on a table in plain view, they don't need a search warrant to take that bloody knife as evidence of a crime.
By going out in public, you are waiving your right to privacy of that which you display in public.
