I was contemplating ending my burglary career, but one of my accomplices grassed me up to the cops. So I sent the lads after him, and then decided my illegal housebreaking spree must continue with renewed vigour.
It's legal. This is the UK. There is no constitution.
I can't believe this has been modded informative when it is blatantly, and even legally, wrong.
The UK certainly does have a Constitution, and in fact our political system is termed a 'Constitutional monarchy'.
I'm sorry, but this is taught early on at in British Secondary Schools.Anyone who's been to school in the UK should know this. Any UK immigrant who's passed the UK citizenship test will know this.
The laws which the security services are alleged to have broken form part of that constitution.
It's only important that the younger "voters of the future" generation are softened up to some global panopticism. Surveillance wonks don't care about the old people now.
I tell them the imaginary colleague (victim, computer owner) they need to speak to is physically disabled, and is currently on the other side of the building, but is conscientiously on his way to talk to them. Then the scammers get restful music on hold, interspersed with periodic updates about the colleague's arduous progression towards the office to take the phone call ("he's on the stairs... oh he's valiantly struggling on the stairs...")
By tugging at the scammers' heartstrings, causing them to feel guilty that this disabled person is making the effort to talk to them, calls can be extended to half an hour or more with some ingenuity.
Maybe he's just testing the water, to find out what kind of reaction this provokes from the US. He clearly knows better than anyone what the consequences of what he's doing would be.
We have 'RIPA', the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 containing the scary "Part III": Investigation of electronic data protected by encryption etc. Power to require disclosure
In plain English, it says "If you have encrypted data, and you know, or have ever known, the key to that data, you have to decrypt the data for the police when they tell you to. And you're not allowed to tell anyone the police told you to decrypt the data, if they tell you not to."
The penalty is 4 years imprisonment.
"CatGenie can't run without SaniSolution, like a car can't run without petrol." is often heard. But that's a flawed analogy and an insult to most people's intellect because it's the laws of physics that prevent a car from running without petrol, but it's a flaky business model that prevents CatGenie from running without SaniSolution.
But a better car analogy would be:
"CatGenie can't run without SaniSolution, like a car can't run without Esso."
So if you want to use BP, Shell, or Total in your car - no can do.
If you think streaming 4k is bad, try looking at it from a post-production point of view.
Grading (colour-correcting) 4k on a Baselight system, in uncompressed 10-bit. That's 800 MB/s for 13 x 60 minute episodes. 37.4 TB, just for the actual footage used in the shows, let alone the rushes.
The post industry, already squeezed to the bone, is getting killed by this pointless obsession with pixel resolution.
The biggest inefficiency with a (short-route) bus is stop-starting a heavy vehicle laden with people.
We have electric and hybrid buses in London, but using a Flywheel (first developed as a fuel-saving measure for F1 cars) to preserve kinetic energy has made the greatest difference to efficiency for London buses.
Ironically the Daily Mail, who are normally an ultra-right, police-supporting newspaper in the UK, have actually condemned the police's statement that merely viewing is an offence.
There would also be no public interest in prosecuting a someone for viewing if they didn't intend to promote IS. It would be absurd. So for the Met to say that viewing a video in and of itself could constitute an offence seems to me to be far from reality

I would really like to be in court to hear a Judge with a posh educated English accent say the words:

The moral? Snitches get stitches.
Well, just comment out the code section that sucks. Job done.
Trousers are less decadent, comrade.

Until someone does a Gemalto, and swipes their private key database.
The British Government does it this way:

At minus 240 degrees C, the cheese won't be in very good condition.
At least it hasn't jumped on the Recursive Acronym bandwagon and called itself the Internet Of IoT.

It's the physicist clickbait equivalent of
"One strange, old trick helped me lose 165 LBs"
=
"Physicists Resurrect an Old, Strange Dark Matter Theory"
please do not feed the troll everyone
Especially in the UK
