Please read this piece, it's important.

It concerns The 2008 Terrorism Prevention Bill, currently headed toward the Lords.

It does *NOT* take any notice of PACE special procedure material,

This Bill will allow any policeman performing a S44 search to demand your flash cards and remove them to the police station for up to 96hrs. You cannot say no, you commit an imprisonable offence if you obstruct the seizure.

There is no requirement for you or anyone else to have committed any offence, it's just one huge fishing trip to turn us all into spies for the police.

This is absolutely disgraceful."
