Re: a long response to a Short note on new Laws

In short the law will allow 'recognised professionals' to carry the tools -
but allow the 'data cops' to arrest people suspected of committing a crime
on the basis that they are carrying 'illegal tools' . Jus tthe same as a
locksmith is allowed to carry lock picks, but a burglar is not..

Cheers,
