Privacy and the Law
1970
Overview
Privacy was of no importance in the last cent simply because business methods did not assail it, & there were no inventions the use of which interfered with it. Over 200 yrs ago the courts established the fundamental principle of the common law that nobody, whether an official of state or not, is empowered to enter upon property. A completely diff legal situation exists re the obtaining & spreading of verbal & pictorial information. The ways in which privacy is presently or potentially jeopardized, from telephone tapping to private & gov'al data storage, are examined; the present inadequacies of the law in combatting such abuses are exposed, & urgently needed measures to give legal protection to the individual in this area of civil rights are suggested. Nevertheless, the admissibility, in Britain, of evidence acquired through electronic surveillance is recommended. M. Duke.
