It would have been okay if the country had a good privacy protection law. And a not-so-broken justice system. The legal system wears you out starting right from the troubles of filing a police report (when needed).
Having worked with the govt, they are pretty lame on security and high on convoluted regulations and harassment. The rules are applied selectively. As a fact, the govt (unintentionally) leaks the citizen's data and then they absolutely deny and cover up stuff. And there is zero accountability. Their departments regularly access stuff without proper authorisation and then store/move it insecurely elsewhere.
