Re: What a complete load of cobblers.
At the time, they had not been found guilty. By Matt's logic, no warrant should be required to enter ones home or read ones private correspondence. Indeed, no trial is necessary as being investigated makes one guilty.
The law may have been written or read inadequately. But basically, any form of "tapping", whether telephone, post or private, electronic means, should need authorisation and proper recording, if only to safeguard the legality and quality of the evidence, quite apart from the general principa of innocent until proved otherwise and the avoidance of a police state.
I'm sure there are some lovely places for the Matts of this world to enjoy their versions of safety and legality. But they may have to be more careful what they say and write in those places.
