From memory. And this could potentially be wrong, but I thought that a police officer explained to me once that for video evidence to be valid in court it had to be seized and not volunteered. So that this means in this context is that it's not personal, they just want the evidence to be usable in the end therefore it has to be technically seized, i.e. forced from you with an order. Even if you were volunteering it.

They invented this word called "undermining", which is supposed to say that the criminal underworld is undermining society. It's really just inspired from the rights grab that the word "terrorists" gave after 9/11, and fact this seemed to have been formed around the same time and have been inspired by it. Anyway, they formed a way to deal with this "undermining" and that was by using a co-ordinated approach where there is an intelligence agency called "The RIEC" which is deliberated formed without a human legal representative which puts the whole structure outside of the law. You can't take them to court. They co-ordinate the activities of the police, the council, the tax department, a large list of entities that simply do as they are told from this organisation. And to go along with this they invented a concept called "An intervention", which is a activity by the co-ordinated parties that is supposed to "interfere" with organised crime. They have given up on actually finding evidence and convicting criminals they want to interfere with them. However, they also don't need evidence and who they target don't even have to be criminals, a hunch is good enough apparently. In order words whoever they wish, or perhaps anyone that sleighted or upset them as well. However, what an intervention can be and who it can apply to is very broad. So they can commit a series of criminal offences against innocent people and others (Colateral damage) with impunity. And they do... For years at a time, with no oversight and no consequences.
