Sorry - early meal out and a couple of scoops so dropped into TLA, sorry three letter acronym mode.I hope you don't mind me wondering what is a an ICO from a LA to a RIPA. Abbreviations are all very good, if everyone understands them........
ICO = Information Commissioners Office - the ones supposed to be watching the snoopers or all persuasions.
RIPA = Regulation of Investagatory Powers Act 2000 regulates the powers of public bodies to carry out surveillance and investigation, and covering the interception of communications. It was ostensibly introduced to take account of technological change such as the growth of the Internet and strong encryption. Largely misused to spy on the public.
LA = local authority
