About duty of care
Secret intelligence can hurt the innocent. Laws give insufficient protection. Intelligence workers should have a duty of care to everyone they encounter.
This goes beyond protecting witnesses and respecting the public’s “right to privacy”. If you touch a person’s life, then you are in part responsible for what happens afterwards.
