Hi, I’m a law student from the country of Macedonia. I ’ve been given a task to write a 20 page essay on the subject of, Wiretapping, Unauthorized reveled of a secret and unauthorized filming.
Now when the title of the essay get roughly translated like this it losses some of its meaning.
The it’s a 3 part essay. The first part is about Wiretapping and eavesdropping, which I understand and have found materials where I can read up on the subject.
The other two are the ones that are giving me problems.
Unauthorized reveal of a secret, in my school book is defined as a secret divulged by a lawyer, priest, psychiatrist and so on, whit out the consent of the person who in trusted them this secret.
While Unauthorized filming, is basically about paparazzi and video filming or photography, people being filmed without their consent. Violating their rights and so on.
Now as you can see I don’t know the English legal terms for these two subjects. Can someone please point them out to me, as well as with some keywords I can use while searching the net for information about them.
I want to compare laws in different countries and see the general differences from country to country concerning these two subjects.
Any help would be more than grateful.
PS:I know that this is US only Forum I'm just want to know the terms and keywords and I’m not sure if I posted this in the right forum, mods feel free to move it and pardon my ignorance.
Thanks upfront.
Wiretapping

You can research that term in depth for some specific case law. Case law is court decisional law.

.
Consent here is not required, as a general rule, if a celebrity is out in public, they have NO "expectation of privacy". The 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution protects such interests of the photographers. They are of course bound by certain tort laws, as they can not put a camera an inch from someones face, it could/may be considered assault, etc., just to outline the right is not absolute to film in any way they want.
