I hear people saying laws that require police reports, police enforcement or interactions with the court are useless. For people like yourself who feel this way, what alternatives do you propose?
- blibble 5y agowhat's the purpose of a regulator if they agree with you and can't do anything to enforce the law? it's privacy theatre, nothing more
- jdavis703 5y agoThe purpose is so they can make rules about complex situations. It’s like how in the US the aviation authority (FAA) and crash investigator (NTSB) don’t really enforce the law, even if a criminal act contributed to the crash. They’ll either forward the information to law enforcement or leave it up to the insurance companies and civil courts to arrive at justice.
- blibble 5y agobelieve it or not not every country has the same regulatory system setup as the United States (thank god) the data protection regulators have no ability to create rules... their job is (supposedly) to enforce it
- jdavis703 5y agoSo you’re telling me ordinary cops and prosecutors in Europe are capable of investigating highly technical, civil crimes? I’m not an expert in European justice, but based on a few high-profile cases I’ve followed, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
