I personally feel that something like that could be dangerous. People who don't respect their own privacy, in my experience, won't respect your privacy either.
So to make my final point, police who respect their own privacy and your privacy are very integral in a constitutional manner. Honestly, I don't know where I stand on the issue. Too much to loose from either side.
Yes, that's what a policeman was on paper when a couple of guys were deciding who would be the guy that saves your life when a delinquent tries to take it from you: uncorruptible, not interested in personal gain when on duty, not interested in the amount of respect he thinks he deserves, would indiscriminately arrest the president's son if he caught him snorting cocaine, would consider his gun the last resort (actually). Basically an omnipotent, indiscriminate, fair god would be a great policeman, not a regular human being. We have no cops; we only have egomaniacs, thugs and those who do their best at becoming that what they were learning for at the academy.
If one wants privacy, then maybe they should be a bouncer at a strip club, not a public servant
So then do you recommend that qualified, genuinely decent people, avoid public servant jobs if they expect a reasonable level of privacy?
I'm not debating what is reasonable, just if we should turn people away from jobs for expecting privacy of any kind.
Absolutely. You either get privacy or you become a public official or a public figure, which makes you public, out in the open.

That's exactly right. They won't.
