video surveillance - angela merkel

4 weeks ago, i suggested a video surveillance project that targets the private houses of politicians

in order to increase the awareness of law makers regarding that problem.

And now it turns out, that Angela Merkel's private appartment wasn't that "private" anyways over the past eight years. As far as i understand, this has not been exploited at all, except for some security-staff zooming in from time to time. Still this incident might trigger some thought process among politicians, helping to protect privacy a bit more.
