Submission + - Canadian Gov seek access without warrants (www.ctv.ca)

pkarlos_76 writes: OTTAWA — The Conservative government wants to give police greater powers to eavesdrop on Canadians in cyberspace. Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan introduced two bills Thursday that would give law enforcement much greater access to Internet communications and the personal details of subscribers. The proposed legislation would enable police to access information on an Internet subscriber, such as name, street address and email address, without having to get a search warrant." I support the legislation only if POLICE are FORCED to obtain warrants first. I don't trust Cops to not misuse it, as some bad apples will. So I write this to make the community aware before this becomes law.
