What is the case law on electronic surveillance in the context of electronic surveillance?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Adam et al, 2006 BCSC 601 (CanLII):
And then at p. 44: As Douglas J., dissenting in United States v. White, supra, put it, at p. 756: “Electronic surveillance is the greatest leveller of human privacy ever known." If the state may arbitrarily record and transmit our private communications, it is no longer possible to strike an appropriate balance between the right of the individual to be left alone and the right of the state to intrude on privacy in the furtherance of its goals, notably the need to investigate and combat crime.
