Privacy, Recording & Surveillance

A four-layer stack governs privacy, recording and surveillance:

1. Basic Law of Governance — Arts 37 (sanctity of the home) & 40 (privacy of communications) 2. Criminal Procedure Law — Art 57 3. Anti-Cyber Crime Law — Arts 3 & 6 4. Public Decency Law (2019)

…with the PDPL as an overlay. The practical position is one-party consent for recording. The Sharia backdrop — *tajassus* (spying), *satr* (concealment), *amanah* (trust) and the sanctity of the home — informs interpretation.
