Based on the scenario, the branches of invasion of privacy that exist are intrusion upon personal solitude, public disclosure of private facts, and appropriation.

By recording Studd Lee’s conversation with his doctor, Sheeza Clodd invaded Studd Lee’s physical solitude or seclusion, causing him mental anguish; this condition supports one of the legal elements required for this invasion of privacy branch. Moreover, the recording took place during a medical checkup in his personal physician’s office, a place where things are supposed to be kept private; thus, Studd Lee must have had a reasonable expectation of privacy where the intrusion takes place. Supporting the third legal element of intrusion is the fact that the act is objectionable to a reasonable person; in this case, recording a conversation between a patient and his physician is an objectionable act regardless of who the victim of the intrusion is.
Alternatively, Studd Lee

As the first element that must be fulfilled to make the appropriation a valid case, the use of Studd Lee’s name, image, or likeness is evident in the advocacy group’s new campaign. In the meantime, the second element for this case is the use for commercial purpose; this aspect is quite unclear on its role in supporting the appropriation case because the advocacy group is not a commercial business, but the fact that it benefits from more donation may provide a sound reasoning that a commercialization of Studd Lee’s personality does happen. Lastly, the third element for this case is the lack of the plaintiff’s consent, and this can be proved easily by the fact that Studd Lee has never agreed to be a part of the
Summary of Source The editorial discloses the power that the Court adheres to and whether it should be accountable for the decision making of fugitive slaves. The writer had discussed that in no way did the verdict of the Dred Scott case follow an act of law, but was merely “nullity.” During the settlement, they decided that since Dred Scott’s master had brought him on free land in Missouri or of the United States without having a citizenship, which resulted in him having no case.

What were you doing at 2:36 in the afternoon 19 years ago on January 13, 1999? I’ll ask you an easier question, what were you doing at that time a week ago? What about two months ago?

This quote from document A helps show that the government had invaded the privacy of someone’s conversation and the person nor public knew about this. The call the person made was recorded and violated the person’s privacy as they spoke to someone. The government has also disrupted people’s privacy by scanning homes. “Society regards as reasonable the expectations of privacy from such intrusive scanning of the home” (Doc D). They’ve used various materials to search a home which violates the privacy of people.
As I began doing my research on the Jaycee Dugard case I was immediately pulled in because I cannot imagine what it would be like to live in captivity for almost two decades. On her way to school in 1991 this innocent little girl was kidnapped by monsters and robbed of her childhood. She found the strength within her soul to survive. During her time as a prisoner she was repeatedly raped by Phillip Garrido and his wife did nothing to stop it. Jaycee eventually gave birth to two children who were fathered by this captor.
It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Miss Elora Yochum. I have known Elora for the past two and a half years in my capacity as both her Drama I teacher and her Drama Club advisor/director. Elora performed in three plays at our high school, and was easily able to set herself apart from her peers in passion, dedication, and delivery. Tantamount to her fervor for the art is her skill at the process of developing a character. Elora’s performances, achieved through both deliberate and fastidious interpretation, have made her one of the best young actors with whom I have had the pleasure to work in 22 years of producing high school theater.

Enclosed phone booths are generally in public spaces and often have doors that close to ensure privacy while phone stations do not have an enclosures and conversations can be overheard. When Katz closed the door to initiate his phone call, he believed he was conducting his call in private because he understood that no one could hear him unless an ear was smashed up to the booth. By attaching a box that housed a recording device outside of the booth was an invasion of privacy even though there was no physical intrusion. Devices such as global positioning systems that catch geographic coordinates as in United States v. Jones, 132 S. Ct. 945, 565 U.S. ___ (2012) and captured electronic data extracted from a cell phone in Riley v. California, 573
There are four main types of invasion privacy. The first one is intrusion of solitude. This type of invasion is common, where someone is illegally snooping through someone’s private life, such as: intercepting private phone calls, or looking at someone’s private records. This type of invasion does not require any publication of images; the act of intrusion itself violates the law. The other type is appropriation of name or likeness.
