British Government To Grant Warrantless Trawl of Communications Data

[wraggster]

Having opposed the previous government's attempts to introduce mass surveillance of Internet communications, the Conservatives are planning to introduce the very same policy they previously described as a 'culture of surveillance which goes far beyond counter terrorism and serious crime.' The plan is essentially to allow stored communication data to be trawled without the inconvenience of needing a warrant (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17576745) or even any reasonable suspicion.
