ChrisJones 7,973 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 The police have been utilizing data extraction technology which can download the entire contents of a person's phone. The program is designed to download the entire phone contents when searched at the local station regardless of whether you're a witness or a suspect and will retrieve location data, conversations on encrypted apps, call logs, emails, text messages, photographs, passwords and internet searches. The Met has been using this since the 2012 Olympics and it's now being used by 26 forces across the country. The current law forbids the search of premises without a warrant but the technology is newer than the law and has no protections at all. Handy now that the average phone contains more personal information than the house does. I'm sure these powers will never be abused, though. They've assured us.
