Having read the discussion of worms and so on there seems to be an
unconsidered problem. There is nothing to stop the police (or some
other Tom, Dick or Harriet) simply introducing a few suitable
photographs onto the computer of someone they have picked on. Let's see
if the Home Office have an answer to this, though given their record I
doubt if they have.
I wonder if they will propose anything on penalties for those inside
the tent? I'm not holding my breath as the white hat assumption seems
to be as strong as ever.
