Politicians Exempt Themselves From “Snoopers Charter” Laws
UK members of Parliament and other politicians have exempted themselves from Britain’s draconian new spying laws. The Investigatory Powers Act better known as the ‘snoopers charter’ which has just been passed into law, brings some of the most extreme and invasive surveillance powers ever given to spies in a democratic state. However, members of Parliament, Lords, members of the devolved regional parliaments or members of the European Parliament have been given protections against those spying powers.
