Privacy - Law of Civil Liberties
Almost every country that changed its laws to reflect the environment
following September 2001 increased the ability of law enforcement and
national security agencies to perform interception of communications,
and transformed the powers of search and seizure, and an increase in the
type of data that can be accessed. This book is a thoroughgoing and
exhaustive discussion of privacy laws worldwide.
Book Description The right to privacy, or the right to private life, is at the heart of individual freedom and the right to be free from arbitrary government interference. The United Kingdom, although part of the European Union, has privacy issues unlike EU member states of Germany and France, for example, and yet the UK Press has much more freedom compared to the ordinary citizen.This book (published in 2007) follows on from the author's 2004 book titled Civil Liberties in England and Wales. Privacy is a contemporary topic of law and some might even say, the hottest civil liberties topic. The UK government has before Parliament The Serious Crimes Bill 2007, one part of which will attempt to establish a super police database of all UK citizens' information and another part of which will attempt to make the interrogation of business files on personnel a legal compulsion. The UK government also has The Interception Of Communication (As Evidence) Bill 2007 before parliament. It is therefore fitting that the subject of privacy is aired. About the author
Available from the following on-line bookstores: Other books by Sally Ramage (Dabydeen):
While the chief subject matter of the first part of this book is the UK
steel industry, the idea of the second part came about because the
International Trade Conventions and the Customs and Practices in trade
are not found in any one place together with the English statues which
govern international trade—an issue which the author addresses with
remarkable clarity and insight.

regulations, the author urges all business people to know their rights,
have their affairs in order and learn the rules of engagement as they
can be used to their advantage.
