GB: Mehr als 8500 Telefonüberwachungen in 2 Jahren

Der Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIP, RIPA) ist ein Gesetz, das die Telekommunikationsüberwachung im United Kingdom regelt. Die Liste der ermächtigten staatlichen Stellen umfasst mittlerweile 792 Behörden, darunter Polizei-, Militär-, Zoll-, Gesundheits-, Schul-, Justiz- und sonstige Verwaltungsbehörden, Geheimdienste, Jobcenter und 474 local councils.

Research conducted by Big Brother Watch has revealed that 372 local councils in England, Scotland and Wales have authorised 8,575 Directed Surveillance and Covert Human Intelligence Source authorisations under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) and RIPSA in the period 1st April 2008 - 31st March 2010. Dividing the total number of authorisations (8,575) by the number of days (730), this is the equivalent of councils authorising over 11 covert surveillance operations a day in the past two years.
