Poole council spies on family over school claim
From the page: "A council has used powers intended for anti-terrorism surveillance to spy on a family who were wrongly accused of lying on a school application form.
For two weeks the middle-class family was followed by council officials who wanted to establish whether they had given a false address within the catchment area of an oversubscribed school to secure a place for their three-year-old.
Notes on the movements of the mother and her three children
The council logged the family's actions in detail- click to enlarge
The "spies" made copious notes on the movements of the mother and her three children, who they referred to as "targets" as they were trailed on school runs. The snoopers even watched the family home at night to establish where they were sleeping.
In fact, the 39-year-old mother - who described the snooping as "a grotesque invasion of privacy" - had held lengthy discussions with the council, which assured her that her school application was totally in order.
Poole borough council disclosed that it had legitimately used the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) to spy on the family."

British Soldiers' Human Rights Breached Over Faulty Equipment
From the page: "Defence Secretary Des Browne will appeal a High Court ruling that sending British soldiers out on patrol or into battle with defective equipment could amount to a breach of their human rights.
The decision by the High Court marked a groundbreaking legal defeat for the Defence Secretary and could have implications for military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The judge also said that in these cases families should be entitled to legal aid and as full access as possible to military documents put before inquest hearings.
MoD lawyers had argued that it was: "impossible to afford to soldiers who were on active service outside their bases the benefits of the Human Rights Act".
But Mr Justice Collins ruled that British servicemen and women were entitled to some measure of legal protection "wherever they may be"."

Exam Cheats To Be Tackled With CCTV Cameras In Exam Halls
From the page: "Exam cheats could soon be found out with the introduction of CCTV cameras.
The Examination Officers' Association is planning to test the idea in a few centres - and the move could also protect invigilators from students' complaints.
EOA chief executive Andrew Harland said using the technology could help to root out exam cheats while protecting both invigilators and students.
He said: "Let's not wait another six months to ask if this is a problem - I see the stress growing on my colleagues' faces.""

Brown under pressure on Saudi Arabia arms deal
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has been urged to reopen its inquiry into a £43bn BAE arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said the investigation, which was suspended in 2006, must be allowed to continue.
The High Court ruled that the SFO acted unlawfully by dropping the corruption inquiry into the al-Yamamah deal. BAE maintains it acted lawfully.
BBC News political correspondent James Hardy said it remained possible that the High Court would tell the SFO to reactivate the inquiry.
On Thursday judges said the decision to halt the inquiry represented an "abject surrender" to pressure from a foreign government.
Lord Justice Moses said that the SFO and the government had given into "blatant threats" that Saudi co-operation in the fight against terror would end unless the probe into corruption was halted.

From the page: "In a country full of enemies in the top government posts, who saved Canada from a 7/7 attack by pointing out the preparations for terror? It was the "conspiracy theorists". They did research on Verint -the company that got the contract for video surveillance of Montreal's Metro subway system- and found connections to the terrorist Israeli Mossad"

BT advert trials were illegal
From the page: "Trials of an online ad system carried out by BT involving more than 30,000 of its customers were potentially illegal, says a leading digital rights lawyer.
BT has said it trialled a prototype of Phorm, which matches adverts to users' web habits, in 2006 and 2007.
The company did not inform customers that they were part of the trial.
Nicholas Bohm, of the Foundation for Information Policy Research, said tests without the knowledge of users were "an illegal intercept of users' data"."
