@ Samoset:  Covert surveillance of a partner is stalking.  http://womenscenter.virginia.edu/sdvs/stalking/definition.htm If you're in a relationship where you can't control your partner's every movement, and this bothers you... Please do the partner a favor and dump him.

Miss Sack,

I did not mean it that way.  I never thought of it like that.  I just meant for the investigator to keep an eye on the partner.  They don't even have to go into emails or texts as those can be taken out of context.

But yes, if they are in a relationship like that, then a person can always get out of it by dumping the other one.
