"Privacy has a long tradition in modern Germany. In 1983 the German
government wanted to organize a census and drafted a law for this
census. People protested against this law in front of Germany’s highest
court Bundesverfassungsgericht (“federal constitutional court”). The
court did not only stop the census but went much further and did
something which has never happened before in German history: the court
created a new civil right directly derived from the other civil rights."
Germany is lucky to have some good constitutional law.
