If it were illegal it wouldn't be in place, full stop. This is the crown prosecution service, what ever you may or may not think of them, their procedures have to be legal. If a procedure that is in place is challenged in a court and found by the court to be illegal then fine, it gets changed. But those following said procedure beforehand are not breaking the law and are acting in good faith.
But data retention isset in law (at the time under the 1998 act, and now the gdpr and 2018 act) and the cps follows those laws like everyone else must. Their procedures follow these laws.
'Could be' and 'are' are two different things.
Where's your actual evidence they are illegal? You don't have any.
What reason do you have to assume this procedure is illegal? Other than some kind of irrelevant association with the surveillance program of a different part of the government proving to be illegal.
I'll gladly accept the procedure is illegal provided with proof it is, so... over to you.
On the flip side I'm now untouchable as far covering my own ass when it comes to these wankers.
The department within that job a better work/life balance and an actual interest in what it does.
I can understand Firefox OS, I wish they'd persevered, but I don't really get this.
On its own I don't think this makes sense. Maybe in the context of an in game browser.
But then who am I to comment.
Knowing they had my back if the shit hit the fan.
I've only experienced this once unfortunately.
Now the ISPs want paid again to provide the service they're already being paid to provide at both ends of the pipe, to make sure the pipe works properly? Extortion plain and simple.
I think technologies like deep fake may affect things like CCTV evidence, especially if it's veracity is thrown into doubt. I can see courts, where I live, having a hard time with this as currently CCTV evidence is treated as a truthful and objective account of people's actions beyond reproach.
