I work for the government in a highly regarded European institution.
Because I'm the kind of guy who speaks out about what I think is wrong, they went against the law by monitoring the video camera system of the offices, trying to use it against me.
I won because I have nothing to hide, but I realized that these people can use this knowledge to hurt those they fear, perhaps someone who could jeopardize their leadership.
At this point, I realized that no human should have this kind of power. It's merely a way to entrench one's position of power, and it becomes truly dangerous.
