Comment: I grew up in a communist country and this is exactly what I remember. There was no internet back then but the secret police was randomly going through everybody’s snail mail, reading our letters and collecting information without any warrant or legal justification that was required by the presumption of innocence clause and by the right of people to refuse answering questions that could potentially lead to their incrimination. In essence, we were all treated as official suspects, even as already charged and accused defendants. This continued after most of our countries ratified the UN International Pact of Civil and Political Rights, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and similar documents. It’s all illegal and it’s all BS. People who enable and engage in this procedure should be charged with crimes against humanity.
