The UK has always felt it proper to invade individuals' privacy. TV detector vans date from 1952: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van and they've recently entered the digital age: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/05/bbc-to-deploy-detection-vans-to-snoop-on-internet-users/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/05/bbc-to-deploy-det...
This type of casual invasion of privacy at least (nominally) requires a warrant in the US.
- lebrad 9y agoI'm constantly amazed that so many British people believe the fiction that BBC detector vans are able to detect license violations.
- colanderman 9y agoI'm not British, and even if they're fake (why do you believe that?), they've still been purporting to invade privacy for over half a century.
