In Italia, l'illiceità mi pare scontata nella maggior parte delle
situazioni.
Con tutta probabilità, integra il delitto di interferenze illecite nella
vita privata ex art. 615 bis c.p., perché si tratta di una ripresa priva
di qualsiasi ragione giustificativa della condotta dell'agente, ed è di
per sé un espediente (il drone al terzo piano, appunto...) per superare
le protezioni a schermo della riservatezza degli "spiati".
Senza contare, ovviamente, i profili di trattamento illecito di dati
personali...

Io e Francesco Micozzi ne parleremo, se ci approvano il talk, a
E-privacy a Firenze il 7 e l'8 di giugno.
