Anundsen get no carte blanche from the Left – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): – Left gives no carte blanche to the police to be able to hack into computers for reading of activity, type Liberal justice policy spokesman Iselin Nybø in an email to Dagbladet.

Thus, not coalition party fully ready signal to the Attorney General Anders Anundsen suggestions about new policing methods in connection with terrorist offenses, murder people smuggling, trafficking, abuse images of children and weapons of mass destruction. The new proposals implies the following:

• Telling search warrant

• Camera surveillance

• Coercive measures in preventive purposes

• Light fittings of email accounts

• covert audio surveillance in private homes to avert criminal offenses.

• Data readings, ie hacking of computers to read everything that is being done and written on the computer.

– A modified crime and threats indicate that police access to use hidden policing methods must be expanded. We therefore police more and better enforcement measures, while safeguarding privacy in a satisfactory manner, says Justice and Emergency Minister Anders Anundsen in a statement.

– Digital mind control

Ventre believes there is great distance from monitor telephone calls or sent emails, to monitor all the activity that happens on a dtatamaskin.

– there’s a difference between actively says over the phone and actively submit to another person and that one drafts and tests on their own computer, printer Nybø.

– This is opening a door to a kind of digital mind control, and the Liberals are deeply skeptical.

Left asks if criminals now will circumvent the new coercive measures by hacking into innocent computers to a greater extent. Nybø casts doubt on the effectiveness of the proposals.

– Data Reading is also a threat to the rule of law. If you are talking in a room or over the phone, there is no doubt about who is talking. But one can be sure who is writing what on a computer?

– I would also stress that the Left is repellent to heave court control or without further extend the scope of the crimes that should be able to justify such investigation methods, writes Nybø.

Two principles

Labour Party Hadia Tajik says they should look carefully at these measures.

– We must ensure control and oversight over the police’s use of restrictive measures that various forms of surveillance and seizure. Here are two principles are important: Specifically suspect circumstances that may involve the risk of serious crime, and that the court oversees the police’s use of various monitoring tools, says Tajik.

– We will particularly look for how these considerations, that characterizes the rule of law Norway, is safeguarded in the justice minister’s proposal before we take a final decision on them, she said.

Hårek Elvenes in right welcome the measures, but memories of privacy.

– Data reading is necessary in combating increasingly sophisticated and serious crime. It can make the difference of a planned terrorist attack revealed or not. Krytptering and hidden data communications have driven police on the defensive. Datavlesning shall only be used when there are reasonable grounds for suspicion by serious crime with sentence of 10 years and be subject to judicial scrutiny. The privacy must be safeguarded in a good way, says Rivers.
