Let’s say we’re neighbors. I keep a close watch on your house, and every time you come and go I phone the local police and tell them, “OceanKing just got home” or whatever. Would you be ok with that?

I want legal reforms that enhance privacy, but your scenario happens all the time, private surveillance is willingly handed over to police after some incident.

It doesn't have the goofball repeatedly calling the police aspect, but that's the less interesting part to me.

I agree, it does happen all the time.

My question remains: if it were happening to you, would you be ok with it?

[oh_sigh]

Yes

Malls are privately owned property, if you don't like it don't go to them.

That doesn’t answer my question.
