Modernizinating Lawful Access

The government introduced a bill to modernize law enforcement for the 21st century. This bill is being spun as an attempt that allows police to apply their existing powers in a new technological medium. Police say they need these powers to protect children and fight criminals using new sophisticated tools. In the words of Mrs. Lovejoy "Won't somebody please think of the children?!"

There are however some fairly serious privacy concerns with the bill and how this bill will be used by police, national security organizations, and others. The main concern is that the bill is overly broad, going far beyond what law enforcement needs to accomplish their stated objectives.
