where harassment can happen in every field, opposition research exists only in the political landscape, also opposition research per se isn’t unethical or a crime, but there are boundaries. Starting with the premise that the goal of our political process is to create an informed electorate that can make educated choices come election day, we can assess whether those boundaries have been crossed. An ethically informed electorate requires that all information researched and used by a political campaign be true, fair, and relevant. Opposition information should only be obtained from legally available sources. Research that crosses the line into trespass, burglary, illegal wire taps, hacking, and other methods which invade privacy should always be out of bound and they would be a crime.
