goes far beyond simply authorising data retention in the UK. In fact, DRIP attempts
to extend the territorial reach of the British interception powers, expanding the UK
’s ability to mandate the interception of communications content across the globe.
It introduces powers that are not only completely novel in the United Kingdom, they ip camera
are some of the first of their kind globally."
The letter continuesip camera wireless ip camera, "DRIP is far more than an administrative necessity; it is a
serious expansion of the British surveillance state."
Addressing data retention
The EU Data Retention Directive has been criticised for violating the Charter of
Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights
since it was passed in 2006. When the ruling came down in April striking down the
Directive, we wrote to the Home Office seeking clarity on what their next steps were.
Aside from a quasi-dismissal of the CJEUs concerns, it doesn't appear that DRIP has
made an effort to comply with the CJEU judgment which had laid out 10 principles that
surveillance camera security systems
data retention must comply with (paragraphs 58-68 of the ruling here).
DRIP re-enacts the practice ip camera system 4ch NVR System allowing for mandatory blanket communications data
retention of the entire population for up to 12 months, a practice which has already
found to be unconstitutional in many European states including Germany, Romania,
Belgium, Austria and Greece amongst others. DRIP also fails to address the very real
privacy concerns laid out in the judgment, and does not address the existing lax
regime under which personal data can be accessed.
Despite the Court being clear on the private nature of communications data
(metadata), there is no such acknowledgment in DRIP. Government continues to diminish
the importance of metadata - the who, when, what, and where of communications -
despite public statements from intelligence officials on how much it reveals. While
the Government does rely on communications data for counter-terrorism, serious crime network camera 4ch NVR system
and financial crime operations, the 514,608 requests for this data in 2013 alone
shows an unnecessary and disproportionate usage of communications data in their work,
so much so that the UK Interception Communications Commissioner warned that it "seems
to me to be a very large number. It has the feel of being too many".
Just as the Directive was incompatible with human rights, so too is this rushed bill.
Rather than assuaging these concerns, DRIP is a power grab dressed up as emergency
legislation.
surveillance camera security systems Expansion of surveillance powers
DRIP seeks to crystallise and extend the powers of existing UK legislation covering
interception and surveillance (RIPA), powers that are currently under scrutiny by the
Investigatory Powers Tribunal. DRIP would allow the Government to issue interception
warrants mandating mass surveillance outside the UK. This extra-territoriality power
is a clear expansion of 16ch NVR Recorder the existing regime, allowing the government to issue
interception warrants to telecommunication companies and ISPs around the world. These wireless ip camera surveillance system
companies would be compelled to not only assist in the interception of emails and
phone calls, but also require backdoors to be build into communications
infrastructure.
These exact powers were shot down when the Draft Communications Data Bill was
dismissed more than a year ago. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who in this go
around has joined the Prime Minister and Labor opposition leader in endorsing DRIP,
said previously that such powers would put the UK in a tight spot by losing the
“ability to speak out as a leading voice for internet freedom.” network camera surveillance system While the Global
Network Initiative, a multistakeholder group which includes some of the world's
leading internet companies, made this exact point in its opposition to DRIP, Clegg
himself seems to have forgotten his own words.
