Another option re BT and Phorm

[Peter Sommer]

RIPA prosecutions need the fiat of the DPP:

s 1(8)
No proceedings for any offence which is an offence by virtue of this 
section shall be instituted—

(a) in England and Wales, except by or with the consent of the Director 
of Public Prosecutions;

(b) in Northern Ireland, except by or with the consent of the Director 
of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland.
