Do other countries not have laws that allow people to remain hidden?
I remember this case from Finland. Police were asking for clues about a man named Janne after he had been missing for a week and a half. Some days later the police announced that they had been in contact with the man and that he was alive. However, he did not want to have his current location revealed and the police obeyed that.
"People in Finland have the right to disappear. If a person wants to remain hidden, there's nothing the police can do about that" they said. The only thing they were able to tell his family was that he was still alive.

- searchableguy 6y agoInteresting. We definitely need that as a law everywhere. People want to escape from abusers and sharks all the time.

- kwhitefoot 6y ago> "People in Finland have the right to disappear. Really? In most European countries there is a requirement to register your home address with the state. See https://www.norden.org/en/info-norden/notifying-move-and-population-registration-finland https://www.norden.org/en/info-norden/notifying-move-and-pop... So you can hide your location from family but you do not have a general right to hide from the state. The same applies in all the Nordic countries.
