| Message | This is about privacy. The court can demand you tell things you dont want to tell anyone, like personal things, if the courts want to hear it. |

| Message | Well if you monitor every citizen 24-7 that would probarbly solve some more crimes, so according to that logic you would fully support that |

| Message | You are not making sense now. |

| Message | You're overreacting to every single bill, LLP. It's time to look at practical views aswell, not just theoretic ones. It can be nice with privacy, but I wouldn't be offended telling personal things if it helped putting an criminal behind bars. |
