UK's secret surveillance regime does not breach human rights, rules ECtHR
The European Court of Human Rights has rejected a claim that the UK's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) violates the human right to a private life. The UK's rules and safeguards on covert surveillance are proportionate, said the Court.
It makes a change for the UK to win a case at the ECtHR. All of a sudden, the right wing newspapers are not screaming that these foreign and unelected judges have got it all wrong, and the UK should ignore the ruling...
I have something to say about this judgment, but it can wait.
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.
