Again, it is also how newsfolk find out about other crimes, bank robberies, hit and runs, thefts, embezzlements, by normal, every day, run of the mill, people. Almost every single crime report your read or hear in the news is about people suspected of crimes. There are different reports of trials which show conviction or aquittals of crimes. Two very different news items.
Again, the right to privacy is from the government not other individuals and corporations. If you believe that you have a right to privacy by the Constitution from other individuals, then there would be no need for websites, telecommunications, cable company, credit cards companies, banks, hospitals, etc. to disclose what they will do with the data they collect. If you don't like their privacy policy, you can chose to not utilize their services.
