Abstract

This chapter considers the legalities of surveillance and the judicial powers that form the legal and regulatory frameworks associated with the constraints on liberty. The chapter uses case histories to describe the effect of surveillance and its potential harms, and the critical responses from privacy campaigners, and less frequently the differences of opinion that occurs between governments and their agencies when individuals in one jurisdiction are treated differently in another.
