I appreciate that Brazil has implemented this well. Suppose I told you that it was exactly the same in China - the police provide reasonable justification, judges approve the request and only then is someone&#x27;s privacy violated. Would you buy it? Or would you point out that judges in China are merely rubber stamping authorities?<p>And lest you think that this is only a problem with China, America has the exact same issue. The FISA court was supposed to hear requests for people&#x27;s private info but it was a glorified rubber stamp, granting 99.9999% of requests. And that&#x27;s the problem, you cannot have a free and vibrant democracy when people&#x27;s privacy is negotiable.<p>Perhaps that sounds like hyperbole, but have a look at what other commenters are saying about <i>fishing expeditions</i> and tell me if you still think so.
