CS 7 - a police officer vs the Sunday Telegraph

  • clause of 3 privacy states that everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private life - which would therefore have meant a breech of the code as they took picture within a private place withoout permisson
  • whilst their is some right to know with regard to the public image of the police woman - her husband is not in the public eye. therefore i think his right to privacy is not overwhelmed by the right to know
  • clause 10 about clandesine and subterfuge has been broken as the press misrepresented themselves to get into private home. whilst they claim there has been some attempt to gain info by other means and there is to some extent a public right to know - i still think the press did break the code as the public right to know did not overrule this
