british spookmasters get an urlยปI’m trying to not clog up the STAND blog with minutiae while we’re still getting visitors looking for info on how to protest the the RIP bill extensions. But I had to put this link somewhere: it’s the new website of the sinister Surveillance Commissioners: judges, jury and administrator for all RIP-style spying on the British public:
This website is primarily designed to be used by those who authorise and conduct covert surveillance operations and covert human intelligence sources (as informants and undercover officers are now known). It shows you how to carry out these activities in compliance with the powers granted by Parliament, and how the OSC monitors the exercise of those powers. By way of practical help we have identified some key points, some sources of advice, and some examples of good and bad practice.
I hope that the website will also be useful to members of the public who are interested in finding out about covert surveillance.
Sir Andrew Leggatt
Chief Surveillance Commissioner
Yeah, but how much are we allowed to find out?
