The European Union has given Germany an ultimatum that it must enact a law to comply with the Data Retention Directive. The Directive says that all E.U. countries must store telecommunications data about phone calls, e-mails, text messages and other electronic transmissions and allow law enforcement agencies to access that data. The German Constitutional Court has ruled that such a law is unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy. Courts in Romania and the Czech Republic have also ruled the law violates their constitutions. The E.U. has given Germany one month to enact the law or face legal and financial consequences.
As a Conscious Conservative, I see this series of events as a shocking reminder as to why the United States cannot afford to get involved with a North American Union or a organization like it. Imagine having your internet search history turned over to Mexican or Canadian authorities for some reason known only to them. The citizens in Germany now have a tough decision to make. Do they give up their privacy to multi-national will or do they pay a protection fee to keep their privacy intact.
