How Many Phone Calls Does Hackney Council Tap Each Day?

A thousand phones are tapped every day in Britain.

The Interception of Communications Commissioner has also revealed that 474 Councils are involved in this process, actively tapping phones.

Quite what could be so serious in local government that Jules Pipe OBE needs to listen in is beyond me. Still, if the authorities are daft enough to give local Council's such a power, we should hardly be surprised when they use it..........
