Oh lord. Glad i don't live in a country where that kind of intrusion and surveillance is legal.

I think it hasn't been tried in court enough. Like it's illegal to watch you poop by installing a camera in the restroom and making sure you are actually pooping and not just sitting and pretending to poop.

But would the court find it illegal to have the laptop camera be used to secretly look at you say every 3 minutes to make sure you're focused on work and not slacking off?
