Call me cynical if you like but when a taxpayer funded workforce (the police), which at the last count had over 1000 of its members found guilty of offences such as rape, kiddy fiddling, violence, benefit fraud, robbery, drug dealing, perjury and perverting the course of justice etc - and incredibly allowed to keep their jobs by chief constables exercising their discretion, wants to further invade our privacy I say no! The police in my judgement are simply a motley collection of thieves, liars, sex offenders and violent bullies, who believe, because of the inactions of week, limp-wristed chief constables, that they are beyond the law. Do not give them more powers. They are not to be trusted.

Jan... what a lovely person you are, even i wouldn't wish nasty things on others. :) I see your frustrations and that the Police in your eyes will always do wrong no matter what they do and that you'll always back the criminal element in society. As i stated earlier the Police will still need to apply for and have grounds to support a warrant in order to use surveillance equipment on private property.
