In principle I've not got a problem with it UNTIL you read "even if no charges are brought forward"...
So even my joe innocent bloggs gets his records stored for anyone to take advantage of, hows that work when you run your business from your phone are the police allowed to take all your financial gubbins for record too?

Give it 10 years and this technology will be remote, stealthily gathering data as you pass by.

So, I need to start looking for something to encrypt my phone.

More than simply putting a lock on it.

Sounds like you'll need Android then. iPhone won't do it.

I had this discussion with a customer last week, because of the new laws proposed surrounding surveillance of emails, etc. Encryption technology is going to be a much much bigger market than it is now, because it's going to go consumer market!! With people trying to protect their own privacy!

Too true. A lot of my browsing is through VPNs so my ISP cannot get a handle on it.

The sad fact is industry needs to catch up. I did an audit of a system last week and data traffic between database/application server was clear text. Yet the app was considered sensitive enough to demand SSL to deliver to the browser.

As for email. Encrypt it. Run your own servers and delete once removed.

My home phone is voip, I can make calls direct to an ip address so intercept is a little bit more difficult especially if I then tunnel it through ssh or a vpn etc.

The industry will catch up with demand once the demand arises Tim, you won't need to run your own servers like you would have to now.
