Hi everyone,

As some of you would know that I am doing Masters by research in forensic computing. At the moment I am researching into Mobile Phone Forensics. I need to familiarise myself with phone tapping laws used in the UK, ive been searching on the web but have not come across these laws. I was wondering if anyone could help me and direct me to some literature concering these laws. This will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Imran Khan

I guess RIPA would be a good start

and particularly the Directed Surveillance stuff

http//www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2003/20033171.htm

also Article 8 Human Rights Act 1998 about the right to privacy

Hi Imran how's Stafford Uni?

I think these are the main relevant ones. Enjoy!

* Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 ("RIPA")

RIPA

* Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice)(Interception of
Communications) Regulations 2000 ("LBP Regulations")

LBP Regs

* Data Protection Act 1998

Data Protection

* Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 1999

Telecomms Regs

* Human Rights Act 1998

Human Rights Act

I think some of these were originally written with corporations in mind, but they may still contain useful information.
