PS. Still don't think "privacy" is the right word for the issue here.
If someone parks a van outside your house 24/7, with a video camera
aimed at your front door, recording all activity (all persons,
entering or leaving), you have _lost_ privacy.
I would call that an invasion of privacy.
Maybe it's illegal (for example, stalking), maybe it's not (for
example, a licensed private investigator), but either way, it's still
an invasion of privacy.
Moreover, if the police or a government agency does it, unless it
clearly serves the community (from the community's perspective), not
only is it an invasion of privacy, it's a kind of political
intimidation, more characteristic of totalitarian regimes.
