And, might I add, rather dull! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />But yes, I see your point. I was accused of stealing computers and music equipment from my High School. The janitor positively identified me and for two weeks I was harrassed by teachers and students alike until I had to leave.I didn't do it, though. I was completely innocent. In fact, in later years I even met the guy who actually did it! But I know the feeling of having my civil rights violated and abused. The police were not... nice. They made it well known, despite the laws that supposedly protect my privacy, that I was accused and what I was accused of.Three weeks after the accusation, after I had been forced to leave school and had endured all sorts of hate, the police cleared me of all charges. But the damage had already been done.So I agree. Privacy is important. I guess I was just curious as to why everyone was so concerned and didn't consider this particular aspect of the argument.</blockquote>
