I find it a violation of privacy. In particular, mine. Fuckers got my house.

Ok, that's funny now after moving forward.  Scuba dudes sitting in lawn chairs wasn't especially amusing.

German minister for justice is currently campaigning against it. She says it's a worse and more blatant breach of privacy than any secret service would dare to commit.

Um... I assume that's typical fashion for Norwegians?  Just your average neighborhood, where the locals are dressed in scuba gear, jogging down the street.    :D
