Yesterday, I discovered a Tennessee law that has some teeth to it regarding invasion of privacy. The creates civil liability for any person whose wire,oral,or electronic communication is intentionally intercepted,disclosed,or used in violation of T-C-A 39-13-601. I have been practicing law since 1994 and I always get excited when I learn some new law about a hot topic. These issues of email tampering or hacking into social networking accounts has been coming up recently. If you find out your ex-wife or someone else has been intercepting your email, you now have a cause of action to stop these practices.
