Media misconduct
Raymond Wacks · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2013
The chapter describes the various forms of physical and technological intrusion, some of which (such as the infamous telephone hacking conducted by journalists—and which sparked the Leveson Inquiry) may be employed by the media. They include biometrics, computer hacking, identity theft, DNA databases, and RFID. Legal means to repel such invasions are examined, such as trespass, nuisance, the intentional infliction of emotional harm, and protection against harassment is discussed.
