I've been looking at the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (and the
Explanatory Notes). It's not easy reading. Can anyone clarify:
a) is it Sections 1 to 4 (particularly 4(3)) and Sections 27 to 30 that
universities should be looking at?
b) do sections 1 to 4 mean a university can intercept/monitor provided it's
with consent or is for purposes connected with the provision of the
postal/telecoms service?
c) do sections 27 to 30 mean that a university can only undertake covert
surveillance if authorised to do so, eg by the police?
Thanks
