Thousands of innocent Brits have reportedly been mistakenly snooped on by UK police and public bodies.
That claim, which involved nearly 3,000 citizens, was made in a Times report (£) on Saturday.
t was alleged that "Authorities routinely use sweeping legal powers to collect phone and internet records secretly". And there are concerns that the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (Ripa) was being abused.
According to the report, the records of nearly 3,000 law-abiding Brits were wrongly snatched and scrutinised by fuzz and civil servants during a three-year period.
