Q: Is it illegal to eavesdrop on other people's rooms in hotels?

If it's just eavesdropping, it's a moral category, not a crime. If you spread the content of eavesdropping, it belongs to the category of public security punishment. If it reaches a certain scale and even causes serious consequences, it will become infringement and crime. Tort refers to an illegal act that infringes on the personal property or intellectual property rights of others and should bear civil liability according to law. After the infringement, there is a specific relationship of civil rights and obligations between the infringer and the victim, that is, the victim has the right to claim compensation from the infringer.

Torts mainly focus on the following aspects, that is, whether fault, illegal behavior and damage facts are necessary elements of tort. The "elements" of tort should be an indispensable condition for all tort. Only when the lack of this condition can't constitute infringement can it be called "elements", otherwise it can't be called "elements".

When a certain condition is only a necessary condition for a certain type of infringement, but not a necessary condition for all infringements, such a condition should not be regarded as a "necessary condition" for the concept of infringement.

legal ground

Article 165 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If the actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others through fault and causes damage, he shall bear the tort liability.

If the actor is presumed to be at fault according to the law and cannot prove that he is not at fault, he shall bear tort liability. Article 177 If the lawful rights and interests are infringed upon, and the state organs cannot protect them in time in case of emergency, and the lawful rights and interests will be irretrievably damaged if measures are not taken immediately, the victim may take reasonable measures such as seizing the infringer's property within the scope necessary to protect his lawful rights and interests; However, it should immediately request the relevant state organs to handle it.

If the victim takes improper measures to cause damage to others, he shall bear tort liability. Article 172 Where two or more persons commit tort separately, causing the same damage, and the liability can be determined, they shall bear corresponding liabilities; It is difficult to determine the size of the responsibility and share the responsibility equally.
