# Defense strategy for customers suspected of stealing confidential data If I need to file a public interest defense for a client accused of stealing confidential data, I can construct a defense strategy from the following aspects： ## Key defense points 1. **Expose the motivation for improper behavior** -Emphasize that customer behavior is to expose public health, safety threats or major violations -Demonstrate that customers have no personal profit motive, but to protect the public interest 2. **Proportional principle and necessity** -Prove that the social value of the information obtained is much greater than the benefit of confidentiality -Demonstrate that the customer has tried other legal channels but it is invalid or may lead to the destruction of evidence 3. **Principle of minimization of infringement** -Explain that customers only obtain the necessary information to avoid excessive intrusion -Emphasize the way of obtaining information to minimize damage to the legitimate interests of the enterprise 4. **Legal support for proof** -Reference to whistle-blower protection laws and regulations in relevant jurisdictions -Refer to judicial jurisprudence in similar cases, especially cases where the court supports public welfare motives ##Defense misunderstandings to be avoided -It is not appropriate to directly admit all the facts of the allegations -Avoid over-glorifying motives and ignoring legal issues of behavior -The personality or motivation of the prosecution or the injured party should not be attacked Based on the specific case, I will formulate a more detailed defense strategy based on the local legal framework to ensure that while respecting legal procedures, the public interest nature of the client's behavior is highlighted.
