"Being honest" and "obeying the law" are two definitely distinct things, not to be mixed up with each other. There can be such a thing as a "honest thief", you know. Also, being a racist or, even, a Nazi does not make that person any more dishonest than your average lovey-dovey multiculturalist. In fact, I have a nagging suspicion that some people with openly racist views tend to be even more honest of their feelings and beliefs than a lot of the professed liberals one sees strolling about...

There would be more cause for concern if no reprimand was given. @5 Well, at least a reprimand was given over the racist comments on TV.

This is happening in much the same way when the first payment plans came for buying products. Now noone even talks about it any more.

Can you imagine that POLICE can use your personal financial details to determine anything from speeding ticket amounts to deciding whom to target for getting maximum revenue?! No chance for discrimination or abuse of power there. Right. Obviously, most people in the world couldn't imagine such a personal violation. In Finland, there's no limit to what the police can do with your information. Finland's practices also conflict with other international treaties that Finland has signed---most tax treaties (such those with the US, Australia and EU countries ) stipulate privacy and discretion regarding financial information. Every person living in Finland should seriously be concerned about the violation of their rights, concerning the misuse of their personal data.
