TLDR: husband caught his wife cheating through the camera of a robot vacuum, then decided to start recording the affair to help his legal case. He won NT$500,000 but since he illegally recorded the affair he was sued back and fined NT$150,000 (or prison time if he wishes not to pay)
If he pays, he still comes out 350k on top. I have no idea how Taiwan legal system works, but I assume lawyers aren’t stupid expensive like they are in the usa.
I suppose that has to do with privacy laws in whatever state/country… And whether or not they have been updated for modern considerations… Or persist to protect an individual’s privacy regardless of modernization… It all depends on one’s perspective.
I say all of this, of course, without knowing the specifics of the case, nor the specifics of the local laws in question.

Funny that you can sue for damages if your marital partner is cheating

NT$500,000 is about $15K in USD.
