In Lebanon, VoIP is actually completely illegal as it circumvents what is in some cases, a state run monopoly, and in other cases, a multi-national firm that's been granted authority to be a monopoly by a ridiculous agreement Lebanon made with the IMF (typical privatization/guarantee of private profits in exchange for a high interest loan).
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the developing world is in the same boat...
That's not "something interesting"... that's because alcohol has a predictable incidence of slurring speech and staggering around!
In any case, how many times are each of us exposed to all sorts of sensitive information or put in a position of responsibility? I suspect that most of us can wield far more power than just the ability to put someone in jail for no reason (keep in mind, the officer doesn't have much benefit from this!).
