ACE-Review/

The previous consultation included a desire to "rationalise" the
process of obtaining a judicial warrant and the new version wants ways
of "reducing, where possible, administrative and bureaucratic process
on the police and on the courts" whilst at the same time "we do not
propose to make changes to the existing statutory structure" whatever
that means.

There's a lot of very nasty stuff in the consultation, have a read.


I can't seem to open the PDF download. My reader says the file is
damaged (although I downloaded two copies and they are identical).
