MODERATORS
Well sure human nature exists but there's also professionalism - unfortunately in many parts of the country these people take an intelligence test to screen out the high scorers.
Yes, they are trained, but it's in their nature to abuse that system. That's probably why many of them become cops. Computer repair people used to snoop through private photographs and videos (possibly still do).
It's like dangling a carrot in front of them. But instead of punishing them for abusing the system, the system shouldn't exist.
There literally should be penalties on local elected officials for every attempt at invading privacy on any scale, but on a scale that high, it's crazy.
Tech are lobbying for it the world over, and at the moment they're winning.
