You, UK regulators and law enforcement, shall learn first how to do your frickin job!

Intruding everyone's privacy is not that!

Should everyone hand in their full recording of private conversations and full track of movements per month so you can filter out those breaking the law and claim you did your job?! NO!

Or better yet, should everyone spend two weeks in a high-security jail every three years, just so you can claim that, statistically speaking, crimes were punished? So your life can be easy, you can kick back, and collect paychecks? You'd like that, wouldn't you?! Maybe farmers can ask people making food for themselves but still collecting money for it, shouldn't they?

If you must intrude the privacy of all people then you are just a buch of incompetent idiots without a clue how to chase the actual criminals instead of harassing honest people! Exposing everyone to bad actors. Which is a crime on its own, by the way!

If you are unable to do without privacy violations for everyone then get a job you are able to carry out!

Walls, locks, gates, and all such are made for a purpose: to protect people. Don't break them!
