The problem with the Government is that in the name of national security and the fight against terrorism, ethnic minority groups civil liberties are being eroded. The mad idea of Jacqui Smith's to create a national database is a dangerous tool because if it is allowed to be implemented, the government may use retrospective conversations such as two people talking in 2001 saying "I dropped a bomb" in the context of 'I dropped a clanger'as the basis of suspecting an innocent victim. Then you have the dangerous Cressida Dick stating - another Juan Charles de Menes (sorry if I spelt the name wrong)situation could arise and another innocent victim be killed! This government in it's 10 years has allowed the terrorist threat to grow through lack of competent policies or vigilance or security systems and all headed by the same Jacqui Smith - I refer to the unvetted immigration workers who were not given immigration checks or clearance, the loss of personal data, the detention without charge, denying innocent victims access to legal representation, the list goes on. Furthermore, having the racist police (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/feb/25/police.law)listening in to your conversations can prejudice other aspects of your life covering legal or insurance claims. These calls are supposed to be confidential but with the racist police listening, this is an abuse of process and infringes an individuals right to goods and services that fall outside of the national security proviso. Therefore, the next time you put in for legal aid or an insurance claim and you are given a refusal, make sure that the grounds for refusal are valid and not prejudicial to your rights to goods and services.
