Garda bugs

According to the news tonight, they can now have a wiretap basically anywhere for up to three months, the results of which will be admissable in court. Now for the Irish Patriot Act...

if it was on the news this evening, and its actually already in effect I don't think its a conspiracy any more? Probably more suited to the emergency services forum

If there is any hint of the Gardai using "roving Bugs" from suspects mobile phones it then becomes a conspiracy. :pac::pac::pac:

You have to find a balance between privacy rights and the governments responsibilty to tackle serious crime. But try telling that to the McBrearty family in Donegal, it was alleged, though refuted (unsurprisingly) that their phone lines were tapped without a warrant.

Under the new Orwellian legislation it can only be done with the aproval of a judge " EXCEPT IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Any hint leads to a conspiracy...gottit.

f they do go down that road we are obviously not going to hear about it.

If they do it, there won't be any hint. Gottit.

To recap....

There won't be any hint if they are going it, and if they're not doing it there shouldn't be any hint...so we can conclude that there is nothing to become a conspiracy here.

Excellent.
