Strauss-Kahn case: 4 ways French and American law differ - The "perp walk" - CSMonitor.com

I also think I agree with the French privacy laws that protect personal activities from the public. Why should our romances, hobbies, family and health details be permitted to be tossed around in the public? Of course, if someone is running for public office, or if they post those details voluntarily on web sites, that makes it public.
