Surveillance of citizens is a clear manifestation of government power. The act of surveillance is generally deemed acceptable in a democratic society where it is necessary to protect the interests of the nation and where the power is exercised non-arbitrarily and in accordance with the law.
Surveillance and the Lawanalyses the core features of surveillance that create stark challenges for transparency and accountability by examining the relationship between language, power, and surveillance. It identifies a number of features of surveillance law, surveillance language, and the distribution of power that perpetuate the existing surveillance paradigm. Using case studies from the US, the UK, and Ireland, it assesses the techniques used to maintain the status quo of continued surveillance expansion. These jurisdictions are selected for their similarities, but also for their key constitutional distinctions, which influence how power is distributed and restrained in the different systems. Though the book maintains that the classic principles of transparency and accountability remain the best means available to limit the arbitrary exercise of government power, it evaluates how these principles could be better realised in order to restore power to the people and to maintain an appropriate balance between government intrusion and the right to privacy.
By identifying the common tactics used in the expansion of surveillance around the globe, this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in privacy law, human rights, information technology law, and surveillance studies.

Ufuatiliaji wa raia ni wonyesho wazi wa nguvu za serikali. "Hatua ya ufuatiliaji kwa ujumla inachukuliwa kuwa ya kukubalika katika jamii ya kidemokrasia ambapo ni muhimu kulinda maslahi ya taifa na ambapo mamlaka hutumiwa bila kukata tamaa na kwa mujibu wa sheria.""" Ufuatiliaji na Sheria: Uchunguzi wa sifa za msingi za ufuatiliaji ambazo huunda changamoto kubwa kwa uwazi na uwajibikaji kwa kuchunguza uhusiano kati ya lugha, nguvu na ufuatiliaji. Inatambua sifa kadhaa za sheria ya ufuatiliaji, lugha ya ufuatiliaji, na usambazaji wa nguvu ambazo huendeleza mfano wa ufuatiliaji uliopo. Kwa kutumia masomo ya kesi kutoka Marekani, Uingereza na Ireland, inathamini mbinu zinazotumiwa kudumisha hali ya sasa ya upanuzi wa ufuatiliaji uliendelea. Mamlaka hizi huchaguliwa kwa sababu ya kufanana kwao, lakini pia kwa sababu ya tofauti zao kuu za kikatiba, ambazo zinaathiri jinsi nguvu inagawanywa na kudhibitiwa katika mifumo tofauti. Ingawa kitabu hicho kinasema kuwa kanuni za kawaida za uwazi na uwajibikaji bado ni njia bora inayopatikana ya kupunguza matumizi ya kimakusudi ya mamlaka ya serikali, inathamini jinsi kanuni hizi zinaweza kutekelezwa vizuri ili kurudisha nguvu kwa watu na kudumisha usawa sahihi kati ya uvamizi wa serikali na haki ya faragha. Kwa kutambua mbinu za kawaida zinazotumiwa katika kupanua ufuatiliaji duniani kote, kitabu hiki kitapendeza wanafunzi na wasomi wanaopendezwa na sheria ya faragha, haki za binadamu, sheria ya teknolojia ya habari, na masomo ya ufuatiliaji.
