I&#x27;m Brazilian (not a shaddy judge though) and this comment is baffling. It reminded me why I left it in the first place.<p>&gt; No right is absolute, and that includes the right to privacy<p>Indeed true.<p>That&#x27;s why you see Brazilian politicians embezzling billions of dollars and running away with it. At the same time, impoverished individuals are imprisoned for years after stealing a basket of eggs (literally).<p>No, it&#x27;s not the same as in the U.S. Many innocent Americans are put in jail because they didn&#x27;t know their rights. Impoverished Brazilians are not  even given that choice.<p>The law isn&#x27;t the same for everyone. If a Brazilian with a college education is arrested, he goes to a different, more pompous, prison &quot;by law&quot;.
