Maybe so, but feral youths running around engaging in stabism is sod all to do with snooping on peoples internet connection and everything to do with boots on the street and general society.

How do you think laws like this will help sort out chavy little n*bheads who don't care if they get convicted or not?

Well.........if they can arrest people in Azerbaijan for voting in favour of an opposite country in the Eurovision Song Contest via mobile text.........

What a great excuse to pass a law for arresting all those that vote for the likes of Jedward on the XFactor.... as a matter of security risk to the UK

there you go, I would say that constitutes "reasonable grounds". "Come on son, 'and it over"

Personally I believe that anyone who watches the Xfactor etc should be arrested...Once upon a time you could be sent to the asylum for stuff like that.....oh for the good old days

I dont understand why we need these laws against terrorists today who havent had a significant success for many years but we never needed them when the IRA were actively bombing on the UK mainland for a few decades?

Its obviously working then. We should definately keep on doing what we are doing. BTW I am selling a bracelet that will protect you from Sabretooth Tigers, I guarantee that they work because I have been wearing one for 5 years and have yet to be savaged by a Sabretooth Tiger.

Thats because the IRA was only playing at it*, I mean coded alerts so the police could clear the area, for the number of incidents, thats just having fun, like putting on-fire dog poo through the old guy down the streets letterbox.

There were (in mainland Britain) surprisingly few deaths.

The Arndale Center was just a shop-lifting excercise (3ft in the air mind you )

True Story, while speaking to a guy at a wedding the the US (Kentucky, he was the Brides Uncle) he went in a single sentence from going on about how terrible those A-Rab Terrists were to praising the IRA.

*Obviously (I hope) this response is for comedy purposes only and I acknowledge that many people have died from various terrorist activities in all parts of the world for many years and would not like anyone to think that I really do think so lightly of them.

I think the right for them to look at phones easily is fair enough. Imagine the fella bragging via text about beating someone up or the suspected bike thief who turns out to be in a large organised gang complete with other members details and locations etc.

I think the need or want to keep innocent peoples info is completely useless and will only get people's shackles up.
