Bid To Spy On Public 1,400 Times A Day

[Arthur Little]

So, :cwm24: ... who ARE those 'Super Snoopers'??

Why, the police, of course. Apparently police can access the public's :telephone: & email records at an alarming rate of once every two minutes ... it has emerged. And only a tiny fraction of requests :icon_rolleyes: - somewhere around 8% - to allow them to do this, are refused ...

Hmm ... :anerikke: ... seems George Orwell's futuristic predictions really are coming true!

If it protects the public and helps capture the pond life then it's of no worries to me

I agree with that Arthur, had one email and two phone calls this year so far and they were all Home Office linked :xxgrinning--00xx3:

They have been coming true since 1984 Art and not always for our benefit..
I`m thinking seriously about disconnecting from the grid.

Tbh ... :anerikke: ... it doesn't bother me personally, :nono-1-1: as I've nothing to hide. And ANY safety measures taken to protect the wellbeing of the general public - especially in these troubled times ... when the very real threat of sudden terrorist attack looms over us - are all to the good. But I daresay there will be a great many who're bound to *view *('scuse pun) such actions :icon_rolleyes: as a GROSS infringement of their civil liberties.
