Question

What are the privacy rights of individuals running for or serving in public office?

Answer 1

The privacy rights of individuals running or serving in public office are the same as other citizens of the country. However, we as public, don't give public figures the right to privacy. We believe that we must and need to know everything that is happening in a public figure's life. We believe that as somebody who constituents as the public, must always live under the scrutiny in order to know whether they are presenting the public in the right light or not. Public figures or individuals running for or serving in public office are barely given the right to privacy like other citizens. However, they are entitled to every right to keep their personal lives private, though it soon becomes public due to prying citizens.
