We want GCHQ-style spy powers to hack cybercrims, say police

bemmie lad

on the rights of man and common sense

on that 5-point lark:

increase the effort criminals need to apply to commit the crime successfully;

No back doors to encryption technology? An excellent response to the bleatings of certain cretins. Wary of anyone trading security for freedom. Just fuck off NSA. Keep up educating public. Should public forums be encouraged to use HTTPS?

increase the risks criminals need to take

struggling with ideas here that don't involve logging everything everywhere. fuck off.

; reduce the rewards of criminal activity

OK, good idea, educate public in good IT security would be a start. Wouldn't like to see things taken much further. Anyone have some other suggestions? feels like could erode presumption if innocence if not careful.

; remove the excuses for it

Does anyone have any good excuses for cyber crime? Crap wars in foreign lands?

; and reduce provocation.

Ban people from commenting on youtube? how to reduce provocation in a world of free speech?
