The new details will not be available to local authorities and councils, who are be stripped of their current powers to access information about phone calls, the Home Secretary will announce. Public bodies will have to apply for the new powers at a later date. The government will foot the bill, the estimated cost of which will be revealed later on Thursday. However civil liberties campaigners had attacked the legislation as the "most intrusive surveillance regime of any democratic government". Charles Farr, the director-general of the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism, said more communications were taking place on the internet, with fewer by phone, than ever before. The new powers were needed to enable police and the security services to get details such as the time of the communication, the sender, the recipient and the location from which the communication was made to help them fight crime and terrorism. About one in four requests for data by the police and agencies can no longer be met under the current regime, he said. This could rise to 30% within a few years if no action was taken, he added. The move comes after Mrs May's initial proposals to extend internet surveillance were greeted with widespread criticism from civil liberties campaigners earlier this year. The full details will be outlined when the draft Communications Bill is published this morning, on the same day that David Cameron appears before the Leveson inquiry. Mrs May said: "Communications data is vital for the police in their fight against crime, including serious offences such as child abuse, drug dealing and terrorism. "These measures are necessary to protect the public and investigate crime - and that is the only reason for which they should be used. "That is why I think it is right that we look again and ask whether local authorities really need access to communications data." Tory backbencher David Davis, the former shadow home secretary who challenged Cameron for the leadership of the party, said the plans would be "hugely intrusive". "It's not content, but it's incredibly intrusive," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "If they really want to do things like this - and we all accept they use data to catch criminals - get a warrant. Get a judge to sign a warrant, not the guy at the next desk, not somebody else in the same organisation. "The only people who will avoid this are the actual criminals, because there are ways around this - you use an internet cafe, you hack into somebody's wi-fi, you use what's called proxy servers, and they are just the easy ways." Farr attempted to reassure civil rights campaigners who have dubbed the legislation "the online snooper's charter" added that, under the proposals, neither the police nor security services would be able to monitor calls, texts, emails or web use in real time and the content of any phone calls or emails would not be covered by the proposals. He went on: "We are not looking to collect all IP data. We will ask service providers to collect specific services." Safeguards would be in place at every step, he said. The measures would theoretically cover any company offering services to people in the UK, regardless of where they were based, he added. Under the moves, local authorities will not be able to get any of the new powers available to police and the security services under the draft Communications Bill. Local authorities will also be stripped of their powers under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to access data relating to phone calls, such as the subscriber's name. They will be able to apply to Parliament to have these powers reinstated at a later date, but will be barred from accessing the new powers related to emails and internet use. Public bodies will not automatically get access to the new powers, but will be able to apply for them at a later date. Assistant Chief Constable Gary Beautridge, the data communications lead for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), said the current lack of access to details of internet communications was hampering investigations. "There is a growing gap in our ability to maintain current capability," he said. But Nick Pickles, director of the civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: "If the government wants a serious review of spying laws then we will happily engage with that process. "However, to rush out an announcement about local councils is neither a serious review nor a credible effort to protect civil liberties. "It is a desperate attempt to buy off critics that says a great deal about how little support the Home Office believes there is for this policy." He went on: "Making a complex area of legislation even more complex undermines accountability and will lead to even more abuses of surveillance laws. "It is a naked attempt to avoid scrutiny and deliberately hide from the public details of the most intrusive surveillance regime of any democratic government." * Contribute to this Story: * Send us a tip * Send us a photo or video * Suggest a correction FOLLOW UK Like [DEL: :DEL] 35k Enter email for UK a Get Alerts * UK NEWS * Twitter * Terrorism * Theresa May The police and security services are to be given new powers to track suspects through their use of emails, Facebook accounts and Twitter profiles, in controversial legislation to be published on Thurs...

The argument that the police need more powers has not been made, evidenced by the lack of terrorism attacks or increases in domestic crime statistics. This is obviously not about fighting crime. The statements issued so far by the supporters of this bill are laughably lacking in basic reason. This does indicate the sheer lack of respect that these authoritarians have for the people on these British nations. We are NOT the property of Theresa May to be abused at her will. fewthinkers: "It's what the police want" is no argument.

That didnt last long. Dont think for one minute that they will be any more honest over this snooping. They just "promise" not to at the outset. The police are interested in everything except actually policing.

Just look at any British governmental computer project every one is a disasterously costly unfit for purpose white elephant. I know several people who have swapped passports with their girlfriends for a laugh on those "high tech state of the art" UK airport facial recognition scaners and despite them looking northing like each other still got through no problems, so its pretty obvious the facial recognition scaners don't work. What about the compulsary interview scheme brought in "to prevent UK passport fraud". It turned out that out of the thousands of first time UK passport applicants interviewed not a single one was turned down. All this stuff is a total joke and waste of money. jmmcmkn: Rule Britannia Do you realy think that serious terrorists wont http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/social/jmmcmkn/facebook-twitter-and-ema i_n_1595564_161196562.html History | Permalink | Share it This comment has been down-ranked into oblivion.

However, I am not all that concerned (still slightly!) about how our current government uses these powers. There will be breaches of privacy, and 99.99% of the time these will be due to the incompetence of Civil Servants or MPs, and will not be a deliberate and malicious act. Look how strongly the UK population feels about the phone hacking scandal (a similar subject regarding privacy), and consider for a moment how concerned all politicians are with their media image. Do I think current government or shadow government would risk something similar? No. So what am I concerned about? A fascist party in Greece has taken over 20% of the vote there. It's amazing how quickly, due to a small recession; insanity can sweep a previously peaceful and stable nation. Please understand that, in my eyes the recession is a small blip. Peak Oil and Peak Water are on the horizon, these will wreak uncontrollable havoc with our lives like we haven't seen before, and the result on our political system will be unpredictable. Who knows what the future may hold, but I think by accepting our government's "future planning", we are leaving ourselves open to more degradation of this nation. flabberjabber: I will not at all advocate a government's ability to http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/social/flabberjabber/facebook-twitter-a nd-emai_n_1595564_161162297.html History | Permalink | Share it This comment has been down-ranked into oblivion.
