A police man/women (sorry pc state) job is to capture criminals. and if you haven't noticed your ALL criminals in one way or another. in doing this they protect the innocent. by calling you all criminals. your all suspects.

Edited by: Elliot Reid on 04/01/2009 17:38:20 As for encryption, if the police were to suspect you of a crime and you would not decrypt the data then I think thats a little like failing to give a breath sample when stopped for suspicion of drink driving. The failing to decrypt is treated the same as having incriminating stuff.

This is exactly the attitude that has created this problem. Everyone has something to hide. Everyone. I do. So do you. Do does my family, my friends, my dog, etc. People tend to appreciate their secrets remaining secrets.
And even if it were only used to persecute "the guilty" as you so eloquently assert, the systems are then in place to possibly persecute anyone, at the whim of whoever controls it. ____________________

You can have hidden partitions. So you would decrypt the visible volume, but there would be no evidence of that volume containing a hidden partition within it. I use a program called TrueCrypt which offers this feature. I'm not telling you if I've used it however.  ____________________

Sorry, why should the Police keep tabs on the general population? Isn't their job to solve crimes (ha!) and to prevent it (again - HA!)?
They have bigger issues than keeping us afraid, such as dealing with yob culture...

Your local bobby would give you a clip round your ear when you was a kid "That`s before you think about doing something young en"
Could also talk to him and have a friendly chat. I wouldn't dream of doing that. I wouldn't DARE speak to an officer there some many reason to not look or even acknowledged there existence.

It's treated only as Obstruction of Justice. Because people do actually forget passwords, you can't incriminate them on it.

Detecting encrypted/hidden volumes is actually quite easy to do. I've done it a few times. What's this a 180GB drive with only a 100GB partition, I wonder where the rest is? However the obvious difficulty is obtaining the key.
Also, If the Security Services were going to 'hack' you (which they don't, they just get you to install a back-door), it's probably not going to end up in court where a defence barrister cross examines the Forensic Expert for the prosecution and says, "Well his system was compromised, can you be 100% sure it wasn't planted!?", and "Can you be 100% sure that it was the suspect using the computer at the time?". At which point you have a seed of doubt, and the case is probably over. ------

Quote: He said the authorities could break into a suspectÆs home or office and insert a ôkey-loggingö device into an individualÆs computer. This would collect and, if necessary, transmit details of all the suspectÆs keystrokes. ôItÆs just like putting a secret camera in someoneÆs living room,ö he said.
Well for a start, they have to actually visit your home for that. You'd have to be pretty suspect for them to bother...
Quote: police could park outside a suspectÆs home and hack into his or her hard drive using the wireless network.
Even with WPA wireless encryption? Wouldn't that take like, forever? And again for them to come park outside your house means they have to have something on you already... 
Quote: Police might also send an e-mail to a suspectÆs computer. The message would include an attachment that contained a virus or ômalwareö. If the attachment was opened, the remote search facility would be covertly activated.

The point is, you don't see that only 100GB is used. Say you have a 180GB encrypted volume. Inside that volume, you can place a 80GB hidden volume which uses a different password to the outer volume. Now, all your enemy can see is that there is a 180GB encrypted volume on the hard drive. If he forces you to tell him the password, you tell him the password to the outer volume. When it's open, it looks like a 180GB partition with just under 100GB of data on it, and 80GB free space. He takes the data and goes home happy. If you had used the other password, it would have opened up the hidden partition which just looks like a 80GB partition, and this is where you keep the really juicy stuff.
The only problem with this system is that if your enemy tries to write a file to the outer volume, you risk corrupting the hidden volume. ____________________

Awesome.
What software do they use to do this? Does it have any buffer over run flaws? Can I leave an interesting file for them that when they look at it via their 'remote search' it will blow the **** up and randomly encrypt parts of their local file system, or even better, periodically post the files they're looking at onto usenet...

I wonder how many people are going to put documents entitled "big drug buy plan" and fill it with insults and profanities for the police to find on their computers.
In all seriousness this is opening a huge can of worms. It only takes one crooked cop to plant incrimidating evidence on your computer, come back and say your a thief. The funny thing is though that serious criminals were adapt by merely keeping any crimidating evidence on a stand alone computer or network not attached to the internet. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Technically, if we did declare independence the Conservatives would win the next election. The thing to do would be getting regions of northern England to join Scotland (or some other name, doesn't really matter) and thus bail out from the UK's ****ups.

I see a problem with this. There are many things or people's computers that could be misinterpreted. Let's think outside the torrents collection for a minute.
What if you take a picture of your but naked baby and store it on your computer. As a parent you might not even realize the baby is but naked. But then some policeman browse your folders, finds the pic and labels you pedobear.
Or lets say you are writing a novel about a fictional war... they find it and think it's a terrorist manifesto or something... bad bad bad |

So the hacking methods mentioned, we have:
Hijacking your wireless network Sending keylogger software as an email attachment Breaking in and installing a keylogger
So basically, the only people who need to worry about this are morons on unsecured WiFi, and who happily open .exe files from an unknown email sender. Installing a physical keylogger would require a warrant anyway.
Some real hardcore "hacking" here. I just hope they don't start employing anyone who knows what they're doing. Oh wait - they can't! They can't afford a real hacker because they get chuff all funding. Yay! Big Brother is underfunded!  ____________________

Originally by: ReaperOfSly Wasn't there a time when police used to be servants of the people? When law enforcement was a secondary priority?
In uk they are servants to the queen. .You live in illusions buddy. only in certain countries do they serve the ppl.
They were first created by John Peel and called 'Peelers' and were there to serve the public. However, their first prority was always law enforcement, it's what the organisation was created to do. Even now, they are not classed as 'civil servants' but 'public servants' and therefore technically still serve the public rather than the queen.
The fact that they wear the queens insignia means nothing except that they are sanctioned by the queen. It would be like saying RSPCA are the queens servant just because they have the word Royal in their organisation name and bear the queens seal of approval.
Since the Magna Carta is our only bill of rights, it is wise to know it.
Quote: We have granted also, and given to all the Freemen of our Realm, for Us and our Heirs for ever, these Liberties under-written, to have and to hold to them and their Heirs, of Us and our Heirs for ever.
The above states that the rules put forward in the Magna Carta cannot be revoked. Anyone looking at the rules will notice that many already have been repealed. In effect, this can be interpreted as an illegal act in itself.
Quote: Clause 38 requires more than the mere word of an official, before any person could be put on trial.
So the police can hack in and look at illegal stuff on your computer all day. There's nothing they can do about it since they are classed as officials. That was included to protect people from corrupt officials who would charge you without evidence on their word alone. It also protected you from having evidence planted by officials.
Hacking is illegal under the data protection act. This act would include authorities hacking as information on any machine, even a private one is protected under this act. To enforce this, they would have to repeal the data protection act. To enforce this, one would need only to have sensitive data like a list of phone numbers on their PC, even a backup of your mobile contacts list. Even the police are subject to this law.
Also, the can of worms that someone else suggested. What is to stop anyone saying that any incriminating evidence had been planted by the person hacking in? The onus would be on them to prove it wasn't planted.

Originally by: ReaperOfSly You can have hidden partitions. So you would decrypt the visible volume, but there would be no evidence of that volume containing a hidden partition within it. I use a program called TrueCrypt which offers this feature. I'm not telling you if I've used it however. 
Detecting encrypted/hidden volumes is actually quite easy to do. I've done it a few times. What's this a 180GB drive with only a 100GB partition, I wonder where the rest is? However the obvious difficulty is obtaining the key.
The point is, you don't see that only 100GB is used. Say you have a 180GB encrypted volume. Inside that volume, you can place a 80GB hidden volume which uses a different password to the outer volume. Now, all your enemy can see is that there is a 180GB encrypted volume on the hard drive. If he forces you to tell him the password, you tell him the password to the outer volume. When it's open, it looks like a 180GB partition with just under 100GB of data on it, and 80GB free space. He takes the data and goes home happy. If you had used the other password, it would have opened up the hidden partition which just looks like a 80GB partition, and this is where you keep the really juicy stuff.
The only problem with this system is that if your enemy tries to write a file to the outer volume, you risk corrupting the hidden volume.
Yes, for the stupid people who just want to "see the files", but I've used forensic tools that will tell us straight off that data is encrypted. ------

How do ID cards protect the innocent? In fact if anything they will give terrorists a cover of legitimacy.
ID cards are just supposed to confirm the identity of the person carrying the card. It won't do anything for security, it won't protect the innocent, it won't make us feel safe. ------

Well said.
@AmosTrask It's true that a lot of terrorists have been living in this country for years. Re: The Doctor in the Glasgow airport bombing attempt. How would his holding an ID card prevent this, how would it help police catch him?
We already have an ID card system in place the same as any other country in the world. It's called a passport, why whould we need an expensive bit of plastic as well? The UK gov't has been trying to find more and more ways to make us part with our money and put it in their pockets, the ID card is just another one of those scams. If they really ant us to have one, issue one with no expense to us. If they are so adamant that it will help them combat terrorism and crime, this would be a small price for them to pay. The amount they say they would save on investigation would be worth it.
Jail or not, I refuse to carry one and I have absolutely nothing to hide as the 10 year vetting for my SIA license proved. I have already said I won't be updating that when it runs out, I resent paying ú300 to the government to allow me to work in a job I've been doing for years before the licenses came out. The recent scandal about so many illegals getting SIA licenses proved it doesn't work anyway.
It's just more documents and personal information about us for hte government departments to "lose".

Like Robert Anton Wilson said (although not about the Brits but it seems we haven't been too far behind) we've been domesticated, like chickens, to the point of idiocy - chickens still know they should hide behind a bush if there's a threat but they've been bred so stupid they still carry on cluck-cluck-clucking loudly from their cunning hiding place.

It's just more documents and personal information about us for hte government departments to "lose".
Likewise - every time I've gone for a job in care, or moved positions in my current job, I've gone for an 'enhanced disclosure' where my records are checked for criminal convictions or even allegations that could suggest I'm not a suitable person to work with vulnerable people. This year, though, I'll also be asked to 'volunteer' to go on the ID register - this won't actually add any further protection for the people I work with than is already in place but if I refuse to go on the register I won't be able to apply for my enhanced disclosure and, as a result, would not be able to continue in my chosen profession of the last 15 years. The only difference thi will make is to coerce me into signing up to an expensive and unpopular scheme, gather more personal information from me than I was required to provide for a disclosure and then, at a time of Gordon Brown's choosing, sell that information on to private companies for marketting purposes (unless, of course, someone in the civil services looses it first). It's really a straw too much for me - I spend a good part of my working life encouraging vulnerable children to stand up against bullying and am now facing a situation where my own government is effectively attempting to bully me into their ID scheme. If the government really believe their much used maxim 'if people have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear' it makes me wonder why they feel the need to edge the ID register in with so much sly and underhanded behaviour. Not for me thanks.

Of course any government wants to have information on its citizens and up to a point it can be helpful however its the bad things the losing of such info carelessly which is a real worry.
It all feels like an unstopable train in 10 years i forsee dna taken in one way or another of the whole population, a good thing perhaps?
Now fast forward say 20 years in time and hypothetically a new government which lets just say wants complete control over the individuals in the state.
What a wonderful amount of data they will have and if they dont like you because your either ie: welsh,moslim,gay,etc then id guess youd better start living in the woods.

Bold = correction, encryption on wireless isn't that hard to crack with dedicated software, as the router and device have to send the code to each other to verify the packets they are sending as authorized, a sniffer program can find this and apply it within 10minutes last time I checked.

All those who think that only criminals have something to hide will realise soon that EVERYONE is a criminal the moment the government decides they are and there is nothing they can do about it because they so readily gave up their freedom.

We've got speed cameras to check whether we're going over the speed limit when we drive, and ones to detect whether our cars are insured properly and stuff, so simmilar things I guess.
Seriously, the government are ******s, the lot of them. Then they wonder why we hate them. Granted, as the public that's our duty, but this is just ridiculous.

You're missing the point. Governments are stepping way out of bounds for OUR safety. Violating everyones rights just to please some small brained idiots who have a SEVERE distrust of, well pretty much everyone else and anything they don't (or simply refuse to) understand. It's great this grand policed world that we're making for our children. Soon we won't have to worry about educating them or raising them because the state will tell you what to do. Hell, I'm gonna start bubble wrapping everything just so all the mouth-breathers can frolic about without denting their soft heads.

Now which one of the dozen or so generalised laws that everyone knows about but ignores? I'm talking about the ones that enable a police officer to stop you in your car and have you done even though your car has only just passed an MOT, has tax and insurance and you have a full license? Yes a copper even told me he could find something on my car to have me fined for even though it was 100% legal. The ones that also allow a copper to stop you in the street and take you for questioning 'on suspicion' and hold you (imprisonment) for up to 72 hours even though he knows you've done nothing wrong? The ones that can allow photo evidence to nail you because you just happened to be in the right place at the wrong time?
Or could it be the ones that allow a copper to arrest you and take away your car (theft) because DVLA lost your license details and now show you as only having a provisional license? I fell victim to that one after driving on a full license for over 9 years. For reasons of security, I do not carry my license with me and only after that I realised I'd left it at my abusive ex wifes house when I left her. She's probably destroyed it along with the rest of my stuff I left behind and I have no idea wher she's moved to.
Maybe you won't be so smug if a government organisation decides to lose your details resulting in you breaking the law doing something you've always been entitled to do before.

Originally by: Epideme The thing I find really amusing is that the more these "improvements to public safety and security" are implemented, I don't see any decrease in my chances of being knifed, muggged, abused or gunned down in the street.
That's because it's easier to go after the soft targets who have less rights and are therefore a much easier target for the police. Soon it's going to be more like "I'm arresting you for carrying so much money and inciting others to mug you."

Originally by: AmosTrask Never had a problem with this, Or id cards or street cams all these things are to protect the innocent only the guilty should really have a problem with any of it.
I am reminded of a story I was once told a long time ago, although I don't remember most of it.
The basis was about a man and his wife. They lived happily. Then men in black coats came along and asked for the man to tell them secrets of people they knew. He obliged happily for he did not worry and felt safe. Each week the men would come back and ask for more secrets and he gave them to the men for he did not worry about it and he felt safe, while the people he knew were taken away. Several weeks went by and before long the man had run out of secrets to tell. The black coat figures grew restless and the man told them secrets of wife, and she was taken away. The man did not worry because he was still safe. The next week the black coats came back and the man pleaded that he had no more information. They felt he was keeping a secret and they hauled him away.
The man was worried now, for he was no longer safe, but it was too late now.

Don't know why this is so hard for people to understand.
In many countries you can easily get arrested and imprisoned without committing a crime. Where I live, animal rights activists were in prison for 100 days because someone thought they knew someone who had committed a crime. They picked out 10 better-known activists and constructed a fictional organization around them and while they had no indication whatsoever that one of them committed a crime, they blamed that fictional organization and incarcerated them.
So be careful, perhaps they'll invent the "EVE players terrorist group" next if some EVE player committs a crime and you will be one of the lucky guys selected for prosecution...
It's the new breed of anti-terrorism laws that makes this possible.

If they took effective measures against crime, people would no longer be so much convinced that there is a need for surveillance etc. ... Modern totalitarian governments need to make themselves necessary in the eyes of the public.

Well I certainly don't enjoy watching uninformed/biased protesters blocking traffic with their propaganda. But it's their right in Canada, unfortunately.
Edit: People turn a blind eye to the mistreatment of cows, chickens, etc.. because those animals are raised to be our food, while we are outraged when dogs and cats are mistreated, because we raise those animals to be companions. To be part of our family.

It's mostly since government and media uses key words that we're sensitive to in order to justify their case. Raising tax on alcohol to "combat drink-related crime", censorship of websites to "protect" us from "unsafe content", detaining people without charge to "fight terrorism", speedcameras to "keep the roads safe" etc, and it's like everyone believes it 
Oh, that recent VAT change? It was supposed to make things cheaper for us, at least that's why the government told us. Of course they convieniantly forgot that most retailers round their prices up to the nearest ú - 1, so whilst that ú39.99 price did drop to ú39.13 for a few weeks, only now they just raised the EX: VAT accordingly so we're paying the original amount again. Oops.

No, you DO NOT agree with innocent until proven guilty, aka the presumption of innocence, because it's the same damn thing as "rather n guilty men go free, then one innocent convicted". Just a different way of saying it. The burden of proof being on the auhtorities is why those guilty go free.
Finland no longer upholds the presumption of innocence as supreme either. For certain "crimes", like speeding caught on automated surveillance, they have moved the burden of proof to the owner of the vehicle, and I believe many parts of the western world do the same.
First time I read about it, I think it was in Motor Trend or some such magazine and it was from the US, was during the 90's. The picture the guy got fined for was of a government owned pickup truck that for some reason had the same license plate number as the mans sedan, only with different type of plates. At the time I chuckled and thought, that would never happen in my country...

Patriotism is only one step away from Facism, I think that we need to play it safe with the yanks for the time being, that is until their near future collapse. Mind you if you go as far as forming an alliance with middle eastern states (a nightmare, but plausable if you appeal to only one group) then the Yanks can't do ****, but thats my opinion.

Well, with the Celtic Federation, at least we'd be getting something better than the Welsh National Anthem. -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted.

Using psychology in warfare or to control others has been a tactic of many since time began. Goering was right of course but it only needs for the enemy to convince the people that what they bring is liberation and they will welcome it with open arms. A war waged from within is often won by the very people who would otherwise be shooting at you.
Show the people that their own government is the enemy while you bring peace, properity and freedom. Show them that you are not willing to take up arms against them because you are not willing to kill them in order to set them free. So many in history have made the mistake of trying to use force to take what they want, this serves only to enrage and make them determined to beat the agressor back. Terrorists kill innocents to get attention for their cause, rather than bring them support, it brings them destruction.
Yes, I agree with the statement he made but it can work both ways.

When has this ever happened? Can you name some examples? I know it's what Bush tried to make everyone believe, but AFAIK it has never worked and I'm sure he knew it never would.

The operative word is CONVINCE. It's also a fact that the charisma attribute works wonders for that too which I'm afraid Bush was severely lacking on.
How do you think people like the guy at Wako managed to get everyone to commit suicide? How do you think most of those cult religious group manage to brainwash people into being zombies with no will of their own?

GWB was widely regarded as very charismatic (although not very bright). Just compare him to Putin ...

Wrong examples, the religious freaks' own leader has it much easier to convince them of course. We were talking about convincing the population while being the enemy, the aggressor. At least you were claiming that it is possible. Bush tried and failed (in Iraq).

Bush went in with guns while he tried it. He also had all the charisma of a wild boar. You can't do this overnight, it takes time and patience and a good knowledge of the politics and the desires of the people. If you want to seduce people, you have to do it in stages. It's pretty obvious they are not going to suddenly accept you as their saviour, you have to work to convince them.
Religious freaks they may be but they are able to recruit. Until they join, he is not their leader, he's just another religious nut trying to create his own church. Remember that everyone considers you an enemy until you prove you are a friend, you just need to know how to push the right buttons to make them warm up to you.
