Privacy in a personal sphere is deserving of protection but once you venture into public spaces you should not expect any protection. If you want to run around in your birthday suit in your home you are entitled to privacy but if you venture outside those doors wearing the emperor's new clothes you can't cry when the video goes viral.
In other words, if it's news, if you've done something stupid to draw attention to yourself in a public venue (often involving the police), it's no longer a "privacy issue." It is now part of the public record. To demand that news be removed from the public record is censorship.
