Town halls banned from using spy laws for petty offences
Town halls are to be banned from using anti-terror laws to spy on the public for petty offences, the Home Secretary is due to announce.
Jacqui Smith is to order an overhaul of the use of the controversial powers which have seen councils target the public for trivial offences such as dog fouling, littering or "bin crimes".
About bloody time too!
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
