Debate Postponed On UK RIP Act Amendment
Harry Morgan writes: "
The UK Government has postponed debate on,
The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data: Additional Public Authorities) Order 2002
which is their attempt to expand the number of organisations entitled to demand communications data under
the original RIP act, until Tuesday 18th June. For anyone who feels strongly about this, now is the time to
do something about it. You can fax your Member of Parliament from stand.org.uk a
site which gives comprehensive information about the order and the original act.
"
Investigative organisations like the NHS and GPO cannot function unless there is a supply of valid useable data. People hiding this sort of data will prevent them from operating.
We need a law like this to prevent terrorists from being able to hide from these groups.
