Well, there's a justification I wasn't expecting to be used to renew interest in the Snooper's Charter: Fictional TV detectives regularly solve crime using communications data therefore real detectives need it.

so he shapes his policies around crime dramas?

This government and cameron in particular a lot of double standards is coming out.

first its we all in this together which really means the poor are to take the brunt of cuts.
then its we want to reduce government controls and hand holding which translates to councils been told they not allowed to touch pensioners benefits and the bbc been told they not allowed to charge pensioners for tv licenses.
now its they want freedom of speech and privacy yet want more net censorship enforcement.
