Law professor makes a case for legally recognizing the Dangers of Surveillance

http://j.mp/ZNfh3H  (Network World)

    The Dangers of Surveillance, written by Neil M. Richards, Professor of
    Law at Washington University in St. Louis, was recently published on
    the Social Science Research Network. In it, Richards proposed "four
    principles that should guide the future development of surveillance
    law." Yet he said we must first recognize that: "Surveillance
    transcends the public-private divide;" that "secret surveillance is
    illegitimate;" that "total surveillance is illegitimate" and that
    "surveillance is harmful." The courts may understand that surveillance
    could be potentially harmful, but "have struggled to clearly
    understand why."
