Police 'encouraged' to hack more

Quote:

The Home Office has signed up to an EU strategy against cybercrime that "encourages" police across Europe to remotely access personal computers.

The plan has sparked fears that the government is looking to increase police powers to hack into people's computers without a court warrant.

UK police already do a "small number" of such operations under existing law.

WOW, now this is ****ed. Those bastards. I dare them to hack my PC. Death awaits them. Cyber death that is.
:/

It'd be funny if some good hacker hacks the police instead and they all get BSOD. lol

OMG. Privacy much?

As long as they don't abuse it, there shouldn't be an issue.

You discovered our problem.. While I don't mind this personally, seeing as I practically use my home pc for playing games and youtube only. I still understand that power corrupts and if they're given enough power in this situation it could cause a pretty big stink.
