- mellomeh, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1What exactly is wrong with this? The first two examples given are public nuisances and are probably being investigated with regards to specific complaints by members of the public, not merely for the sake of meeting targets. The last three examples are fraud. The laws weren't designed specifically to 'track terrorists', RIPA was introduced as a crime-fighting tool, so is it really shocking to find out that it's being used to fight crime?
