U.K. government moves to ban hackers from internet
René Millman 20 Jul 2006 1007
The U.K.'s Home Office is planning broad powers to ban hackers from using the internet.
Under the new powers, law enforcement agencies and the courts could hand out Serious Crime Prevention Order to spammers and hackers when police lack enough evidence of wrongdoing.
The idea is part of the Home Office's green paper "New Powers Against Organised and Financial Crime". It is hoped that these orders will be given in civil, rather than criminal, courts, where the standard of proof is far lower.
People given the special order could find themselves having to give police details of where they are working, have their credit cards stopped or be prevented from sending out spam.
Full details of the green paper can be found in the link below.

The interesting thing about this is that it says …. "the courts could hand out Serious Crime Prevention Order to spammers and hackers when police lack enough evidence of wrongdoing." … what ever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?
Just a thought.
Well, at least it's not as bad as what the United States is doing in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Hundreds of people have been sitting in jail for literally years
without being charged with any crime at all. LOL.
