While ICCL broadly welcomes The Garda Powers Bill, we are concerned that there are no definitions of specific types of searches or what rank of gardaí is can authorise each type; insuficient record of stop and searches; and there is insufficient protection of journalistic privilege.

Finally, watch @tjmcintyre.com recommend to the committee that, moving forward, the sections of the Bill that are not required under NIS2 should be dropped to allow for the straightforward transposition of NIS2 and then the State can consider what else is necessary. (15/15)

Here @tjmcintyre.com explains why it’s so problematic that the Bill is putting the NCSC - which is being given very broad powers - under the direct political control of the Minister. (14/15)

A new Bill would give gardaí access to the CCTV of public bodies without any authorisation process. It would also allow areas with "a pattern of criminal activity" be designated Crime Prevention Zones. This is a concerning attempt to remove the safeguards which prevent inappropriate use of CCTV.

He also explains how Head 9 would allow the NCSC to compel communications providers, such as WhatsApp and iMessage, to install surveillance devices on their networks to scoop up metadata of every user of the service on the basis of ‘national security’. (7/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com tell the committee how Head 6 would allow the NCSC to scan any publicly accessible network or information system for vulnerabilities - without their knowledge or consent - including small businesses, NGOs, homes, or politicians’ offices. (3/15)

In short, they agreed. (13/15)

Senator Lynn Ruane asked attendees if they believed the powers provided under the Bill cross the line from cybersecurity measures into surveillance powers. (12/15)

Watch @tjmcintyre.com explain why having no definition of 'national security' anywhere in Irish law means this could lead the NCSC to have a very open-ended power, left to the discretion of the Minister, to order the surveillance of the communications of everyone in the State. (9/15)

Emily Williams, ICCL’s Policing & Justice Policy Officer, spoke to RTÉ yesterday about the death of Mr Yves Sakila. We are very concerned about the disproportionate and excessive use of force and are calling for swift, thorough and transparent investigations by An Garda Síochána and Fiosrú.

Nakon početka suđenja protiv policije zbog narušavanja autonomije univerziteta, jedna od tužiteljki u ovom postupku, profesorka Jelena Kleut je izjavila da je nepovredivost akademskog prostora preduslov autonomije, a da toga nema dok policija naoružana boravi na fakultetima.

As Trump and Stephen Miller use domestic surveillance to suppress our constitutional rights, it’s more urgent than ever that we reform FISA and establish warrant requirements. Today’s reauthorization of FISA Section 702 completely fails to protect our privacy. I am a NO.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Donald Trump mocks Hakeem Jeffries as “a dumb person” before incorrectly claiming the word “dumb” contains a silent “B.”

So, Lindsey Graham loves the direction we're in & Trump is his favorite Prez, because "We're killing the right people" and we're using more bombs than WWII AND people cheered No, this is not AI. This is America under #MAGA leadership BTW many of them are pleading with folks to vote for Cuomo

Micromanagement and rigid command structures slowly shut employees down. When people feel unheard or punished for initiative, they stop contributing ideas and simply wait for instructions. They may still show up physically, but mentally, they’ve already checked out.

The Senate Majority votes today on several bills that will strengthen our democracy and make voting easier in New York. I’m proud to have my bill included, giving election commissioners the option to establish short-term polling sites to ensure voting is safer, more efficient, and more accessible.
