[kictanet] UK Police Acquire Mobile Surveillance Technology.

[Muchiri Nyaggah]

Hi.

The technology the Met police has acquired for use in the UK has great
benign value in the protection of citizens from serious crime and acts of
terrorism. However, the potential for misuse is extremely high even for a
country with such established legislation to protect civil liberties.

In the event that the GoK's security agencies acquire such technology do we
have a legal framework sufficient to ensure the rights of citizens are not
violated? Would we even know when such technology is acquired or would it
fall under an ambiguous budget line such as 'Technology Hardware'?
