Do other countries have public records like the US?

In the US, you can find out a lot of info about a person with a simple search. Is it the same in other countries?

In Sweden you can find out like almost everything about someone. Their full name, birthday, if they changed their name and if so what their previous names were, phone number, where they live, all the people aged 16 and above who lives with them, if they’re married or not, how big their home is, how many rooms it has, what type of home it is, if it’s a rental or owned home, how much they bought it for and when they bought it, what it’s valued at today, the exact date they moved to their current home, where they lived previously and when they moved there, if they have a criminal record and if so what they did and all the documents related to the case, if they are/have been in any criminal investigation even as a witness, if they have a car and if so how old it is and what brand etc, if they have a dog and if so what breed, if they have debt, how much money they made last year etc. This is available online or you can request stuff online from courts. And you can make a call to the authorities and find out even more info like if they have kids, their personal number (like social security number), what grades they got in school and more.

Yes, you Swedes do so love your mass surveillance. Creepy. It’s a pity you can’t do anything about all the Muslims flooding your country from war zones.

I’m sure they will all integrate seamlessly into your culture. 🙄

That sounds horrific!

Absolutely not. We have strict privacy laws here. Just because you have a run-in with the police doesn't mean you will be on YouTube for the next 1000 years.
