While
the U.S. Constitution does not specifically include a right to privacy, some
aspects of privacy are included in the Bill of Rights. Among these rights are
the right to be protected from unreasonable search and seizure, the right not to
incriminate yourself in a trial, and the right to be free from invasion of
privacy.
With the growth of electronic surveillance and
the Internet, privacy issues abound. Subjects of recent court cases include
video surveillance in public places, monitoring of cell phone calls, identity
theft, location tracking, wiretapping, preventing telemarketing calls, and
medical-records confidentiality. If you are concerned that your privacy has
been invaded, or if you are accused of invading someone else's privacy, a
privacy law attorney can help you understand your options and decide what
actions to take.
