UK court rulings don't actually affect UK security agencies. They're immune from consequences.
With no poison tree doctrine, we are one of the few places where illegally collected evidence CAN (and is) used in courts.

- bloak 5y agoI think I read the claim somewhere else on HN very recently that the "fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine" is US-only. In my opinion courts should be allowed to use all relevant evidence. Deliberately causing a miscarriage of justice is not the right way to punish a different person for having broken a different law.
- LatteLazy 5y agoThe problem with this is that you then need another way to stop police etc breaking the law.
