Only a quarter way through reading judgment in @fruitbatmania's pioneering case in the Investigatory Powers Tribunal on human rights abuses by #spycops. and already a devastating indictment of the police operation right up to senior management. A truly immense victory.
Summary from the Tribunal itself:"Our findings that the authorisations under RIPA were fatally flawed and the undercover operation could not be justified as ‘necessary in a democratic society’... reveal disturbing and lamentable failings at the most fundamental levels." #spycops
