Quote:

The Government has been forced to release secret policies which show that GCHQ and MI5 have for years advised staff that they may “target the communications of lawyers,” and use legally privileged material “just like any other item of intelligence.”

That is, State Agencie can spie on lawyers of people taking the state to court.

Quote:

“It’s now clear the intelligence agencies have been eavesdropping on lawyer-client conversations for years. Today's question is not whether, but how much, they have rigged the game in their favour in the ongoing court case over torture.

Campaign Against Police Surveillance Public Meeting

The Truth About Britain's Secret Police

Police officers lying in court, having children with women they spy on,
infiltrating grieving families like the Lawrences… and much more.

Three of those spied on speak at London Metropolitan University (an
institution currently employing a former undercover police infiltrator,
Bob Lambert).

• Helen Steel: One of eight women suing the police for being deceived into
relationships with undercover cops.

of police
