"You may not like surveillance but it was a valid point."

No it wasn't.

The whole thing is predicated on ignoring the presumption of innocence which has been a cornerstone of English law for centuries and of the concept of due process of law which goes back even further, to Magna Carta. When such fundamentals of our basic rights are being yanked away like this we have every right duty to complain. Paranoia doesn't even enter into it. It's not the surveillance in itself that matters, it's the dismantling of the very foundations of our law.
