<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">The point is that mass collection of metadata creates a powerful machine for the government of the day to engage in social engineering. In a Liberal Democracy, you are free to live as you please within the law. But if we allow governments and law enforcement to collect and collate metadata, we're moving towards Minority Report scenarios, where if you depart from your usual routine, there's an exception report generated. And where the police go from there is not necessarily a question of law, but can be influenced by whoever is the government of the day, and to what populist causes they may need to pander to to remain in office.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Paul Wilkins<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, 16 Nov 2018 at 15:11, Christian Heinrich <<a href="mailto:christian.heinrich@cmlh.id.au">christian.heinrich@cmlh.id.au</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Paul,<br>

<a href="http://www.organisedcrimeinquiry.qld.gov.au/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.organisedcrimeinquiry.qld.gov.au/</a> determined that the crime<br>
rate of %1 motorcycle clubs was lower than the general population.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, it was later ruled that Detective Superintendent Brian<br>
Hay "created a significant fraud risk to the Queensland Police<br>
Service" and that he "had the fraud and cybercrime group operating in<br>
an environment that promoted the risk of corruption itself." to quote<br>
