Ceedee, under RIPA, any interception without consent or warrant already is a criminal offence.

Of course, whether the Phorm system, either in future or even in relation to last years secret trials with BT, breaks RIPA has yet to be tested in court but from what I understand some of those involved in the BT trials last year are already preparing a dossier to be presented to the police.

Remember RIPA is totally distinct from the DPA obligations.
