Should Private Investigators be able to violate your privacy?

Interesting to see NC is considering extending some authorities to Private Investigators that Police don't have. Is this another example of be careful what we ask for? If we approve this, what's next?

Second order effects. If this data is going to be used by the government in any way, then no. That includes Civil Lawsuits. As such, the Government can't say "we're just letting Private Citizens be Private Citizens and reaping the benefits." That violates the intent of Privacy Protections.

They should follow whatever laws are applicable to their profession. Unfortunately, there are thousands of loopholes in laws of every kind, and everyone will exploit them is and when they can.
