HeadingNorth Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 e....yes and he's the baddie, not her. If she's been snooping on him on the internet, she is at least equally guilty for the breakdown of the marriage and possibly, more than equally so.

Mecky Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Not really, no. Government can pass laws to make it legal for certain groups - such as the police, while conducting investigations - to do so. It would still be a criminal offence for an individual to do so without permission. Well I didn't give them permission to view my emails or computer, telephone of whatever.

denlin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't see the problem unless you have something to hide and the relationship is based on deceit. My OH can read my emails and does because I have nothing to hide and I read his because neither has he. We have a relationship based on mutual trust and open-ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yes, it is illegal. Reading anyone's communications - electronic or otherwise - without their permission is a criminal offence. It gets more complicated, though, if a married couple are in the routine habit of checking each other's emails; but if you've never given permission, the position is quite clear. Are you sure? As an employee I would never send, or ask to receive, anything confidential using my work email, because I know it could be read by the network administrators. Even in a home environment, somebody often manages all the email accounts and is likely to read some stuff even if inadvertently. It might be rude, but I can't think it's illegal.

simonj Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 its an irrational fear of tampons! my husband is like that-it drives me nuts as usually if I am asking him to get something out of my handbag its because I am doing something else. For some reason (well quite obvious really) this has just reminded me of a classic Young Ones sketch featuring a young Jennifer Saunders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a relationship based on mutual trust and open-ness ...or neither of you are keen on it but rather than raise suspicion you go along with it and in truth there's no trust at all.

RIPA 2000... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_Investigatory_Powers_Act_2000#Prosecutions_under_the_RIPA Cliff Stanford, and George Nelson Liddell pleaded guilty to offences under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act in 2005. They were found to have intercepted emails at the company Redbus Interhouse.[16] Stanford was sentenced to six months' imprisonment suspended for two years, and fined £20,000. It was alleged Stanford had intercepted emails between Dame Shirley Porter and John Porter (Chairman of Redbus Interhouse).[17] Could possibly argue it's covered under some other laws too, but somebody has been fined for intercepting emails under RIPA. Now & again a network admin may need to look at the occasional email, if there's some kind of technical problem with an account or server, I doubt that would be prosecuted, but if it's covert surveillance then it should be regulated under RIPA.

Babooshka Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes, it is illegal. Reading anyone's communications - electronic or otherwise - without their permission is a criminal offence. It's not a criminal offence. A couple of years ago my ex went in to my house, while I was away, and went through everything I own. The whole house. Read ALL my emails, and messages on the computer. Didn't leave a stone unturned. I had the police round. They just rang him to tell me to leave him alone. My ex agreed he had done it. He was looking for stuff to try to prove I was a bad mother, apparently. No mention of anything illegal, by the police - just inappropriate.
