But is the case law of privacy constitutional interpretation (e.g.:Roe v. Wade as a constitutional right to privacy), or is it statutory interpretation?
By implicit reasoning, privacy may be inferred from Amendments IV and V, but the right is not mentioned explicitly. Vance Packard wrote several popular books on the subject in the sixties, in particular about the invasion of private property by firms [corporations]. That is the Big Brother of orwellian fame. However, case contains a truckload of decisions of invasion of privacy under Peeping Tom statutes. Is it tort or criminal? Could be both.
