Entry n 41: Privacy

All of us have right to privacy, that is to do things or to keep information in secret in our everyday life without the knowledge of the rest of the society, even the rest of our own families. But nowadays with the great advance in the technological devices especially created to investigate would-be criminals as well as famous people lives,that are always being persecuted by paparazzos, this right to privacy is frecuently violated and very difficult to maintain. As much publicly known you are, less possible your privacy is.
When we are walking on the streets, we can see that almost all the shops and important buildings have little security cameras that are controlled by the security system operating in those places. So that we know that we are watched by somebody and we try not to do something that might engage us in some trouble or that might seem suspicious.
In that cases we know that these cameras are not violating our privacy but controlling the security of a place or building. But there are other cameras that will disturb our privacy, especially to those who are famous, such was the case of Lady Diana Spencer and the facts that surrounded her death.Some witnesses said that Lady Di was escaping from the stalking of a paparazzo when she had the car accident that killed her.
I think that those people should have some legal way of protecting themselves and their relatives from the stalking of papparazzos and reporters in the streets as well as at their homes, because there are many devices through which cameras can take photographies even from a kilometer of distance.
