Re: Lawful Access articles - collection

With this law, Officer Bubbles could go on a fishing trip of his own accord., and his superiors could easily turn a blind eye, or fabricate a flimsy pretext 'for the record'. It's a bit harder to do when you have to stand before a judge.

Anyone can pretend to be a policemen with some fake badge number from a distant community, call up an ISP and force the ISP to divulge information on individuals.

The way the law should have been written would to have included this as its first two operative statements after the definitions/preamble section......

1) No provider of telecommunications shall provide any personalized customer information to any person, company, body, agency, or any level of government - domestic or foreign - without first being presented a warrant duly executed by a judge of competent jurisdiction under this Act.

2) It is incumbent upon the provider of telecommunications to verify the warrant has been lawfully issued by contacting the jurisdiction under which it has been issued within 2 hours of receipt of the warrant. Absent confirmation within 72 hours of receipt of the warrant, the telecommunications provider must not release any information to the requesting party.

Or:

someone calls, pretends to be a cop. ISP sends replies to a centralised body who then verifies the cop's identity, logs the request and then transmits info to the cop if the cop has been identified and confirmed as a cop.

OMG!!!! A Cop Registry!!!

That would be an intrusion of privacy, don't you think?
The Harper Government(tm) would never intrude on privacy, would they?
