Should we get rid of the police entirely then? It seems they cannot be trusted to do anything at all.

Obviously not, ignoring your facetiousness though the police force needs a serious reform.

This recent **** about preventing terror whilst eroding our rights really has to stop.

Read my posts above, I've already said that 'quotas' isn't the right word.

But anyway, give them quotas or set up a little game where they compete against each other to see who can get the most 'credits'; the end effect is the same. Over zealous police, who's discretion goes out of the window.

I had imagined, or perhaps hoped, that privacy would be taken quite seriously.

You need to spend sometime working as a civil servant. Then you'll understand how truly shocking things can be. You wouldn't trust most civil servants to sharpen a pencil never mind keep your data safe.

AFAIK, the police require a warrant to seize your computers, why should a mobile phone be different when the boundaries between the two are becoming ever-more blurred?
At the moment at least I believe a warrant (court order) is still required to obtain phone records for a fixed line........

Sin, not a personal dig nor is intended to be a sweeping generalisation but the police dont have the best record when it comes to these things. They use the tools they are given to complete the tasks they are set, as such the finger should be pointed more at Government, however there is a record of....I will say misuse instead of abuse...of these tools.
