Draft Investigatory Powers Bill

[Andrew Cormack]

Can't remember whether it was technically "found illegal", or whether the ECJ vaporised the Data Retention Directive first. But there was a lot of concern that the purposes for which data could be disclosed under RIPA were wider than the ones for which it could be retained under the DRD/DRR.

IPBill "fixes" that by having the same long list of purposes for both retention and disclosure. E.g. both are now permitted for "crime" rather than requiring "serious crime" as the old retention regs did
