 Decision on the Defence "Objection to Intercept Evidence"
the Court held unanimously that using a covert listening device to record conversations in the applicant’s home was a violation of article 8, because it was not “in accordance with the law”.
Observing that the government acknowledged that police surveillance of the applicant’s apartment was not in accordance with the law existing at the time, and noting that there was no statutory scheme to regulate the use of listening devices at the police station, the Court was satisfied that article 8 had been violated on both occasions.
Thus, for example, in a country where interception of telephone conversations can only be authorised by the Minister of Home Affairs, it does not make sense at all if his or her authority is still required when he himself or she herself is the suspect that needs to be the subject of surveillance.
