Answer 1

Any ordinary employee of the polyclinic, for example, can easily get access to the card of any patient, despite the medical secrecy. The whole point is simply in good relations with colleagues who have this access by position.
The same applies to our SMS, mail, Yandex.Disk, etc., etc., etc., that you give out.
Moreover, the legislation even forces operators to store all this and provide it to the competent authorities upon request.
However, have you ever heard "I have a friend in the traffic police, he will try the owner by car number", etc. etc.?
