But then, how do we determine which one's right is more important that the other's right?
And, if my privacy right is so over everyone's right, shouldn't I be allowed to open a bank account without giving my information should I desire not to? Or, whatever right the police have to ask me my name and address since my right of privacy preceeds unfounded suspicion? Especially when there is no suspicion but only a routine check?
Then again, what about if I checks into a hotel (like in the original discussion), I do not need to tell them my name if I do not want to, right?
And if we really want to emphasize the rights of privacy, I then would have the right to ask people not to look into my garden when they go past. And I do not have to make tall fence either, since why should I pay up for a right that has been mine since the beginning. The other people should just look away, not me that should build the fence.
Following this trend, it could get out of hand. Surely there is a logical limit to someone's privacy and/or rights?
