Personal Privacy and the Bill of Rights
Balanced Party View
The Rights to Our Privacy
is viewed to be applicable to all; as our personal privacy is held most dear
to all of us. As during the authorship of the 'Bill of Rights', the word
'Privacy actually did not exist, I view that this right is demonstrated in
the notion of allowing each our own sense of "Personal Space with the message
of 'Live and Let Live' " as is demonstrated in authoring of Amendment IV.
I do not personally believe that the intention of this Amendment needs
to be second guessed due to the absence of the word 'Privacy'.
Public figures as elected officials are Public Figures where this should
be considered in the context 'for the need of full transparency and accountability'
in terms of the work they do of, and for the people as Public Figures.
For Public Figures to expect the Right to Privacy, that Right must be
for all on an even playing field. In other words, to respect everyone's privacy
in order to have one's own respected. In terms of mutual respect, Public
Figures, should also have their private lives, and should be considered as
other people are that are non-public figures. This applies to their private
lives where they must account to themselves, and to their ones in their personal
lives.
Consequently, one's private life should be regarded as private when
it is not at the publics expense or by personal imposition on the public.
Otherwise, as Public Figures as just like non-public figures, the term and
right of privacy should not apply.
