Investigation report: Mobile phone data extraction by police forces in England and Wales
After massive criticism, the English data protection authority has taken a close look at the topic of mobile phone evaluations. The result: The police take too much data from the phones and store it for too long - often without a legal basis.
The British data protection authority ICO criticises the way law enforcement agencies deal with the smartphones of victims in England and Wales. For the 64-page investigation report (PDF), the authority had consulted law enforcement agencies, civil society groups and victims' associations. The investigation was preceded by numerous complaints from individuals and a report by Privacy International.
Mobile phones now store a large part of our lives, from address books to private photos and our private communications. In addition to this data, which often extends over long periods of time, phones store much more: browser histories, geodata, used Wifi's, health data and often the passwords and access data of their owners. This makes the phone one of the most interesting data sources for law enforcement agencies today.

#Russia #Ukraine 🇷🇺🇺🇦: Another photo of the #British Sniper from #Wales 🏴 (combatant of #Ukrainian TDF) who fights against #Russian Forces.
This time he appears to be carrying a possible #Finnish 🇫🇮 Tikka T3x sniper rifle with MDT ACC Chassis System. A quite noteable hardware.
