Surveillance of citizens is a clear manifestation of government
power. The act of surveillance is generally deemed acceptable in a
democratic society where it is necessary to protect the interests
of the nation and where the power is exercised non-arbitrarily and
in accordance with the law. Surveillance and the Law analyses the
core features of surveillance that create stark challenges for
transparency and accountability by examining the relationship
between language, power, and surveillance. It identifies a number
of features of surveillance law, surveillance language, and the
distribution of power that perpetuate the existing surveillance
paradigm. Using case studies from the US, the UK, and Ireland, it
assesses the techniques used to maintain the status quo of
continued surveillance expansion. These jurisdictions are selected
for their similarities, but also for their key constitutional
distinctions, which influence how power is distributed and
restrained in the different systems. Though the book maintains that
the classic principles of transparency and accountability remain
the best means available to limit the arbitrary exercise of
government power, it evaluates how these principles could be better
realised in order to restore power to the people and to maintain an
appropriate balance between government intrusion and the right to
privacy. By identifying the common tactics used in the expansion of
surveillance around the globe, this book will appeal to students
and scholars interested in privacy law, human rights, information
technology law, and surveillance studies.
