Netherlands Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten wants to give the police more authority to use electronic surveillance techniques, such as tapping into the mobile phones and personal computers of suspects.
But lawyers, internet specialists and politicians are concerned that the new plan will give police unwarranted powers to invade people's privacy.



















Police and so-called "security" forces should have no rights to invade people's privacy. The state already has too much power to invade human and civil rights. These should be severely curtailed, not expanded!
I guess the American 'spy bug' is catchy.
