Ok for some stupid FUCKING reason what you are about to read is automatically being posted in quotes, when all I am doing is trying to respond here. I have refreshed the page multiple times but it STILL puts me quoting ME!
[quote pid='1697416' dateline='1517722250']
It is a balance ultimately but the balance between privacy and the right to the sunlight of scrutiny is more about power than absolutes. Privacy is a priority more for no names, and having taken journalism in college, the famous people, regardless if you like them, or they do or don't support your political or economic views, no matter the industry, or a politician, are in the public eye. Your neighbor however, whom nobody knows whom does not have fleets of lawyers like Trump or Hillary or Bill Gates or Ann Coulter. My point is the guy I looked into was a no name. While I did gain access to those files, it bothers me that with famous people that it is sometimes harder to do the same, it should not be when we are talking about those who are not only famous, but in a high office of public trust.
