About the blog
Spoiler: The tittle of this post is backwards.
A person's privacy can be easily invaded with the right key. It may be the privacy of where they live. It may be the privacy of their transportation.
When can a person's privacy be invaded without someone forcing entry from outside?
If you read the post Ground then you know of a way. All it takes is a privacy exodus instead of an invasion. If anyone should notice such a thing occurring... how would we expect them to react?
Depending on whether they're strangers, neighbors, or management:
- Would we expect them to take advantage of the situation and listen in?
- Would we expect them to walk a block or 2 and report it to a responsible party?
- Would we expect them to walk across a courtyard or street to make the person aware their privacy was unknowingly being given away?
We don't get to expect anything at all.
Just because a stranger, neighbor, or member of management becomes aware of a privacy issue doesn't make them responsible for it.
It doesn't matter whether what's heard is a fact, rumor, or something from inside a home or apartment that's private. That last one is probably backwards if those listening do anything other than report what was heard.
We can't exactly count on strangers, neighbors, or management to anticipate, investigate, and help every potential problem around them.
But if a crime is being committed because of a privacy exodus...
The expectation for that is already a given.
