Except that privacy is not a right when talking Police officers, as well as other "public" positions. This is what I was talking about. The moment you put on the uniform, you stop being a private person. You become a policeman, a marine, a fireman... Private life should have no bearing on what you do in uniform. You've got to enforce the law, defend your country or put out fires. There's no place for anything "private" as long as you are on duty. That was what I said. Police have no right for privacy from the moment they put on the uniform to the moment they take it off. This should not impede them in any way, too. A police officer exists only for other people. To protect them and serve them. After hours, they might be whoever they want, but during them, they're Police.
This also extends to other people with a lot of power and responsibility. A civil servant, politician, diplomat or whatever should cleanly separate their own, private selves from the functions they fulfill. They have no uniforms, and the time they're "on duty" is a bit muddled, but the general idea is the same. I would not be opposed to filming politicians 24/7, (with the exception of times when they're on vacation, and as such "off duty"), either. This would certainly improve accountability and government transparency. A politician should have the good of his country in mind, not anything related to whoever he is in private. The country not only goes first, it's the only thing that goes as long as you're an official and not a private person. The government (especially the military) might keep secrets, of course, but they have special agencies which are specifically meant for doing covert stuff.
