The Police are now allowed to hack into your private computer

[trugamer]

Is it just me or has this been blown out of proportion by the author?

It seems to be just the ability for countries to request police hack individuals suspect of crimes, and the details to be agreed later shows there isn't much substance to the "routine" and "without a warrant" claims the author seems to believe.

And don't even get me started on the fact your computer should be secure anyway...

and how this evidence doesn't stand stand up in court...

and its only a proposal without having any of the many stages these things have to go through...

and how piracy isn't a "serious crime" and is picked up on by ISPs anyway...

Some people think if you have a supermarket loyalty card you are already having your privacy violated (presumably someone checks your buying habits and says "Ooh look, this chap regularly buys a lot of Kit Kats, we'd better inform the drug squad") but I think the police have got better things to do than hacking into everyone's PCs on the off-chance they find something dodgy (just think of the paperwork).

Although if they did they'd probably manage to find something incriminating on every PC on the planet, as we all know that connecting your PC to the internet is practically the same as wandering into a dirty video store with a megaphone and saying "please deliver one copy of everything to my house!"

If you have never used this program it is great for spotting spyware and stuff like this, but be careful with this app.
