To say “be careful with…” means to tread softly, don’t rock the boat, be sensitive, don’t make sudden moves or controversial assertions. It involves your actions. To say “be careful of”… means to be on guard, be wary, have your radar up. Most people probably don’t observe this distinction, however.
