okay
okay what do you feel are everyday occurrences that are invasion of privacy in your opinion
well uh i guess uh one that comes to mind is um
the way the credit bureaus operate
i i agree one hundred percent especially whenever it's like they keep stuff on your record like for seven years and they don't bother like
yeah
i know at one time i was unemployed or something and and they kept they kept it on my record for like seven months even though that i seven years even though that like you know i i um
yeah they sent a letter in but they didn't bother to include the letter for the explanation where i got behind or anything like that
yeah
yeah we had a problem with them back
oh i don't know five or seven years ago where it uh some stuff was on there that was incorrect and it was and it was real hard to
and well that too
get it get it fixed but they um they share that information with a lot of people that
well that happened with me i um i had had a a doctor's appointment at at uh
University of Chapel Hill Hospital
uh-huh
and there was two William Parrishes and they were charging me for this other person
and i went through like six months of you know because they kept billing me and billing me and billing me i was like you know i'm not this person i'm not seeing seeing you why are you charging me
uh-huh
and i mean they turned me into the Credit Bureau they even held my taxes
oh they did
yeah i mean it went a long ways and it
you mean they held your uh refund
over my refund that you you know and it was it was a mess and finally i got it straightened out but it it took me almost a year to get that straightened out and it was for something you know uh
huh
another William Parrish that wasn't paying his bills or either else they wasn't you know charging him
yeah
but it was really weird
huh
well
let's see um
i think the biggest thing i think that are is not just well not for the average person i i think like the media's is is getting a little bit overboard on the invasion of privacy on
like different on public figures yeah that some of the stuff that they're they're like
on public figures
like the tabloids and stuff are are saying that it's like really like i think Joan Collins i believe is believe right now is having a lawsuit against
yeah
think it's the National Enquirer for taking pictures of her when she was getting undressed in her bedroom and published them and
oh yeah
huh
i some things i think should be private i would hate to know if i was getting undressed in the bedroom somebody was taking pictures of me you know
yeah
someone someone between the curtain was
huh
and i believe they've got something now i read in some science magazine or something where they have a
infrared camera that can take pictures like with inside your house to see if you have any drugs or anything like that i think that's kind of an invasion of privacy too
hm
yeah i guess um another thing comes to mind is some of the
quote unquote routine uh traffic stops they do that man they did that around Raleigh all the time
yeah
you know they set those roadblocks up
oh yeah to see if you've been drinking and driving
yeah yeah and you know and and uh
boy they just you know they have no reason to be stopping you and they just uh they stop you and and uh
look in your car a little bit you know lean in the windows anyway
well i i i had something like that happen to me too um i worked for the Hilton for a while as a banquet waiter and um
one night whenever i got off work you know it was like two or three in the morning it was a big party and you know i pulled out of that little road where you know pull out of the Hilton on the old Wake Forest Road going home
um-hum
um-hum
and i looked up and it was i seen you know blue lights on and i thought God i just pull on the road it can't be me
so you know like i pulled off the road and i pulled you know pulled off the side road and the car followed you know the police car followed you know pulled me over and next thing i know there was eight cop cars and they all got out with guns and everything
you're kidding
and it it really scared me really bad
and they were just stopping you because you were leaving a a night spot probably
well uh they they said that i it was suspicious behavior and i looked at you know the highway patrol and i said how could it be suspicious behavior of me
uh waiting to a light was green making a left hand turn in the correct lane what's to make you know and they had they went all through my car
yeah
and you know while the highway patrolman pulled me back there or and and i i think they gave me a ticket for driving without my license
they did search your car though
they did yeah without my permission
oh
huh
so i i thought i'd i was really offended by that i thought that was a severe invasion of privacy
yeah
and i think some of the laws that they're trying to pass right now um
especially in North Carolina uh i mean we
