But it doesn't have to be. Canada tried to introduce Bill C-31 legislation that pretty much allowed law enforcement officers similar powers. But the public back-lashed enough on our government to at least delay the bill (so far indefinitely). It prolly helped that when it was introduced, the head person responsible Vic Towes, got punked by Canadians by having his personal life displayed for everyone to see, from divorce info to health; he was so mad, demanded cops to find who did it, they couldn't and someone eventually confessed. The issue was, the information posted was all public accessible and legal so no charges could be laid (mischief at best which penatly is f-all).
My end point to this is that if I lived in Australia I would be PISSED as a citizen and they should honestly be forming groups and fighting back, either through protests, internet blackouts and so forth.
It's the Spanish Inquisition all the f*k over again!
Like our 4th Amendment here the US, unless there is 'sufficient' probable cause there's no reason for a search. They have to get a court order of some sort.
This global, returning to a police state shit is getting out of hand. I get it that nobody want to be blown up or poisoned, but we're becoming terrorized by the people who are supposed to have our backs.
