North Carolina Intrusion Law [1]

Intrusion law in North Carolina does not differ in any significant way from the law described in the General Elements of an Intrusion Claim [2] section of this guide. See Miller v. Brooks [3], 472 S.E.2d 350, 353-55 (N.C. Ct. App. 1996). As result, you should follow the general advice outlined in the section on Practical Tips for Avoiding Liability When Gathering Private Information [4].

Always attempt to get the consent of any parties you are filming or whose privacy you might otherwise be intruding into. Consent from the subject will likely give you a strong defense against an intrusion claim. See Miller v. Brooks [3], 472 S.E.2d 350, 354-55 (N.C. Ct. App. 1996).
