Good find, but it has enough caveats and loopholes to render it useless.

Prevention of not just crime, but also disorder? The economic well-being of the country? Protection of health or morals?

I suppose it's better to pay lip service to Right to Privacy, instead of completely ignoring it altogether. But this is not a human right.

You're going to be very disappointed by the other human rights then. They're all about proportionality. Even the right to life can give way "when a public authority (such as the police) uses necessary force to … stop a riot or uprising." https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/human-rights-act/arti...
