Caspar and I were both lobbyists working on RIPA (for different
constituencies) while it was passing through Parliament. I must have
spent about 0.5 FTE on it for the several months duration.
He was more interested in the "overlapping warrants" interception thing
which has re-emerged in the news the last week, whereas I concentrated
on the traffic/comms data disclosure stuff - which subsequently replaced
DPA 29(3) forms for telecoms issues.
I've still got quite a bit of information about the latter transition
archived here (frozen in perhaps 2004):
http://www.internetcrimeforum.org.uk/dpa29-3form.html
...but look at it quick because I can't guarantee how long it will stay
online.
I see no reason why the now-deprecated 29(3) regime that was negotiated
with ACPO for telecoms should not *still* apply to most other classes of
personal data requests, and might give food for thought in the wider DPA
environment when asking the police for assurance regarding the necessity
of their requests.
