This is true of most democratic countries especially the "Five Eyes" and "Fourteen Eyes" countries. That I currently have a protection in law does not mean that the sitting government enjoys that I have it, however it is politically toxic to remove such laws directly so they erode them over time; in the mean time they enter these arrangements with third-party countries. (thus, terms like FIVEYES and FOURTEENEYES exist) I believe though that intentionally loopholing the law to avoid this political problem is much worse than repealing the laws that protect me. It shows a fragrant disregard for the rule of law. a Rundown of the western alliances: * Five Eyes countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand * Nine Eyes countries: The Five Eyes plus Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, and France * Fourteen Eyes countries: The Nine Eyes plus Italy, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and Spain * Partners of the 14 Eyes: Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, British Overseas Territories
