UK Legalizing Criminal Acts By Gov’t Agents: Government sanctioned crime

From the land of “007 license to kill” is coming legalized crimes for government actors. That’s a permission slip from the government to engage in a criminal act. Government sanctioned crime.

You thought lack of accountability was a problem soon many agencies of UK government will get permission slips to engage in criminal actions against people. Feeling safer yet?

NOTE: the UK Parliament logo is a prison gate. Is that a clue?

UK – Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill (HL Bill 144)

” the persons designated for the purposes of this section each have power to grant criminal conduct authorisations.”

“criminal conduct authorisation” is an authorisation for criminal conduct in the course of, or otherwise in connection with, the conduct of a covert human intelligence source.”

(5)A criminal conduct authorisation is necessary on grounds falling within this subsection if it is necessary—

(a)in the interests of national security;

(b)for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime or of preventing disorder; or

Pretty much ANYTHING can be classified under national security, preventing or detecting crime or of preventing disorder and in the interests of the economic well-being of the United Kingdom so it’s open season?

Yes there are limits and qualifications built in but REALLY…is there to much chance this will be wildly abused?
