Privacy measures apparently helping criminals evade capture
The much more interesting thing this points at is the fact that conversations between people should be privileged and not usable in criminal investigations as long as not one party willfully submits it as evidence.
The mere idea of eavesdropping on people and/or using their data for other purposes than it was intended to is horrendous.
Meaning: if I call a friend or even send them a postcard and ask them for 100 kilos of cocaine, this should not be admissible in court. I dont care if organized crime is a problem. Go pose as a buyer and start rolling up the net from the bottom. Do the footwork.
Otherwise its not europol but more like eustasi. (Reference to the stasi, the former east-german „state security“ which was infamous for picking you up ar night if you as much as said you didnt love the government)
We will have to come to grips with the fact that europol (and for the germans reading this, the german state police) are still the fascism enablers they always have been.

Yeah, I dont think so. I have not heard an argument here, just a statement. The “limits” arent real, never have been. This stuff needs to be outlawed as a whole so that “criminal” behavior can be again investigated in a way that is understandable and controllable. We dont need all powerful cops that have the best tools on their hands just to catch someone selling illegal stuff. It has also been proven time and again that the whole terrorism shtick has never been as much of a threat as it was made out to be.
SIGINT isn’t even a good tool for them

Yeah. Your tone indicates that it’s a great idea to have meaningful discussions with you. /s good bye
I call bullshit on this one.

Some things are so bad that it’s just not worth your time.

I am also interested in their argument.
