Arizona

Arizona has recognized the four privacy torts.

Intrusion: An undercover television news crew gained access to a medical laboratory by posing as potential business associates and secretly videotaped their meetings with a doctor. The doctors intrusion claim failed because he could not have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in an office open to the public, nor could he reasonably expect to keep private a conversation with strangers about the medical testing industry. In addition, the television crew did not act in a manner that would have been highly offensive to a reasonable person because they did not put anyone in danger, did not invade the doctors home, and were pursuing a story about a matter of public health. Medical Laboratory Management Consultants v. American Broadcasting Cos., Inc., 30 F. Supp. 2d 1182 (D. Ariz. 1998).

False light: A newspaper article linking a man to the deaths of two young boys did not place him in a false light when it accurately named him as a murder suspect. The fact that others might conclude -- perhaps inaccurately -- from reading the article that the man actually killed the children does not alter the truth of the statement that he was a suspect in a homicide investigation. Meador v. New Times, Inc., 36 F.3d 1103 (9th Cir. 1994).
