> If something illegal is going on anyway, how is making it legal the right answer ? Where do I say that? What I am saying is that French intelligence services do not care what the law say, and the government is not interested in having existing laws enforced. As long as there is no independent entity to control their activity, with real power, these laws may as well be printed on toilet paper. > Even if we can't prevent spies from spying, at least we don't have to worry about the evidence they collect being used in court. That is a fair point, but if law enforcement agencies like Tracfin are already using this data anyway, it means we are not protected with the current laws.
