BREAKING

New powers were slipped into the UK Crime and Policing Bill yesterday

The police will be given powers to extract data from seized devices and any online accounts accessed on it.

No judicial oversight, just on the say so of a senior officer

The UK police have wide discretion to seize devices without a warrant.

This includes during stop and search if they suspect the device may have been used in crime.

Stop and search disproportionately targets black and asian communities. Police phone seizures target black and asian people even more.

#CrimeAndPolicingBill #police #policing #digitalrights #surveillance #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol

The whole regime regarding seizures of devices needs an overhaul.

Digital evidence is used already to bring conspiracy charges against people who haven't committed a crime.

These changes fail to keep the police accountable, and will expand pre-crime policing and the injustices that result from it.

“At the last minute, the government has sneaked further authoritarian policing powers into the [UK] Crime and Policing Bill.

The police cannot be allowed to mark their own homework when it comes to using such intrusive powers... at the very least, there must be sign off by an independent judge or judicial commissioner.”

@jim – ORG Exec Director.
