When I read about a complete misuse of a council's power such as this story from the Mail you really do wonder about the intelligence of the officials that authorised it. Apart from the fact that the outrage and ridicule that will justifiably be poured upon their heads - something that someone with half a brain would be able to foresee - it really make me wonder about the councils priorities in wasting the good people of Cambridgeshire money. Surely there is something more important to do?
However the real villain is of course the Government who allowed the expansion of RIPA into the local arena which include the mission creep that virtually everybody foretold.
RIPA urgently needs curbing and to be brought back to its original remit of counter-insurgency and serious crime.
