privacy (a personality interest) is above spousal rights (a status interest)
The couple married in 2021, lived with the husband’s parents, and used a holiday home in Guishan, Taoyuan on weekends. From September 2023 the husband noticed odd behaviour, found an unknown man’s toothbrush at the holiday home, and checked parking-garage CCTV, which showed a stranger driving his wife there and staying overnight. On 24 December 2023 he activated the robot vacuum remotely via its app — reportedly intending to use the two-way audio to talk to his wife — saw a man in the house on the live feed, and then started recording.
He sued his wife and the other man for NT$2 million for infringement of spousal rights; the Taoyuan District Court awarded NT$500,000, and both the first and second civil instances held the footage was necessarily obtained and not taken “without cause.” The wife then filed a criminal complaint, and the same district court convicted him of recording another person’s sexual images without cause — five months’ imprisonment, convertible to a fine, still appealable.
I wonder if people now will try to sue the government and others who obtain footage of their bad driving and bad parking without their consent because of this

Jokes aside. Criminal Code Art. 315-1 (妨害秘密) only bites on non-public activity.
Need to bring the old “hire a detective to catch cheating spouses” back
