Section 11 of the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 prohibits the publication or communication of private conversations and reports of such conversations, as well as records and reports of activities, that have come to be known due to the use of a surveillance device, including listening, optical surveillance, and tracking devices.[4] Section 12 of the Act prohibits the possession of a record of a private conversation or activity if it was knowingly obtained using a surveillance device. Further, Section 8 prohibits the installation of an optical surveillance device if it involves trespass.[5]
