investigatory powers bill is not fit for purpose.</em></p> <p>The investigatory powers bill, commonly known as the ‘snoopers’ charter’ has been proposed by the current government in order to allow UK intelligence agencies to intercept communications; compel internet service providers to hold on to their users’ records; and allow security forces to hack into personal computers and other devices.</p> <p>However, more than 200 senior lawyers, including barristers, professors and solicitors, have jointly signed a letter claiming the new bill would not be fit for purpose.</p> <p>The letter reads: “First, a law that gives public authorities generalised access to electronic communications contents compromises the essence of the fundamental right to privacy and may be illegal. The investigatory powers bill does this with its bulk interception warrants and bulk equipment interference warrants.</p> <p>“Second, international standards require that interception authorisations identify a specific target – a person or premises – for surveillance. The investigatory powers bill also fails this standard because it allows targeted interception warrants to apply to groups or persons, organisations or premises.</p> <p>“Third, those who authorise interceptions should be able to verify a “reasonable suspicion on the basis of a factual case. The investigatory powers bill does not mention reasonable suspicion – or even suspects – and there is no need to demonstrate criminal involvement or threat to national security.</p> <p>“If the law is not fit for purpose, unnecessary and expensive litigation will follow, and further reform will be required. We urge members of the commons and the Lords to ensure that the future investigatory powers legislation meets these international standards.
