Oh yeah, like how in the late 1930s Garmany instituted a law that citizens were legally obligated to report on neighbors doing anything suspicious and could be imprisoned if they didn’t report on them.

Who was the leader of Germany back then?

That was still the case until the 1990s in Eastern Germany (GDR). And I don’t know how many other places still have it. Now Usa, too.
