In France, we have some consideration toward power separation. Police and secret services can collect your data mostly without a warrant. Government can exceptionally ask the police some data, but if there are abuses, the judicial power will intervene.
- widforss 10y agoI meant government as in government agencies, not strictly under the direct control of the actual group of humans making up the government. I guess "government" interprets to different things in different countries, what I wrote above is a very american viewpoint. In my country (SE), a member of government can be relieved of her duties if she even mentions that an agency should act in a certain way (as the government only should make up policies and not interfere in the daily businesses of the agencies). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministerstyre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministerstyre
