Phone Taps and E-Mails as Evidence

Why not?

The new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Liberty are both in favour.

But the Government and MI6 are not!

I wonder if this is because if you look at parts of someone's conversation, you can probably prove anything. On the other hand if it were to be used as evidence, it has to be tested. Perhaps, a lot against detainees wouldn't stand up in Court.

Policemen have told me that if criminals knew that things they say on the phone could be used in Court, then they would resort to other less convenient methods of communications. So there would be more face-to-face meetings and even letters. All of which are easier to track.

But this this Government likes to manage everything. Including the prejudices of everybody, so that they are kept in power.

If the truth got out, then it might be more difficult.
