The Government (UK) plan (if they aren't already doing it) to install recording devices at all ISPs so that they can monitor Internet traffic.
In my experience, Government's don't give a damn about the law.
Except local governments - who seem to use the law as a reason not to do something. They usually won't do anything unless
they think they must do it because it is a legal requirement. I am constantly (and ignorantly incorrectly) told that it is "against the law" for them to do something that isn't covered by legislation - which is complete bollocks.
But it is somewhat off-topic - sorry!
