Police want two year access to your text messages.

Wow! They don't need anything like that, they need to stay out of people lives!

i dont send or recieve texts in fact they are banned on ma phone

I don't get texting.

Isn't that like so '70s telex style.

Why not just call? If not answer, leave message, duh.

why do we get what we deserve, OP?

They need this.

They need it so everybody always feels intruded, having a dark shadow hanging over them. We dont know what we said a year ago, let alone 2 years ago.

Besides this, from my experience, many of my SMS are related to serious business matters. So who in their right mind would allow the police to have an insight in your personal life in this way??

Under the banner of "if you have nothing to hide, then..." it will be passed and from then on, slowly people are reduced to fearful consumers that can be manipulated at any time.

No matter you did something wrong or not, if they are out to get you, they will have all the ammunition to show you are guilty of something, somehow. Wonderful

Isn't this old news? Before long it will be minority report... Don't stress.

No ones doing anything about it, seems they don't give a shit. Here in Aus I think we're ahead with that law being passed soon if not already.

Because you don't speak up. You allow this to happen.

They can eat shit. Just make sure when your texting your family and friends to include an occasional "Fuck you 4th amendment infringing fucknut!" and of course always apologize to the person you are texting...

Like who is going to read them all., !0 cops per account?
