Just because the picture lacks quite a few pixels, I’m gonna leave this here for better legibility.
Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.
And I checked and the quote you remembered was from “Night Watch”, published in 2002.
Everyone was guilty of something. Vimes knew that. Every copper knew that. That was how you maintained your authority.
But luckily Vimes isn’t a fascist deep down, so it’s more referring to the general psyche and not actually implying everyone is officially criminal
