It would seem that the increased exposure to the public gaze (and concern) is having an effect. Last night's radio programme reported that an amendment to the RIP bill was in train, to change the requirements for 'proof of forgetfulness' in respect of encryption codes from the defence to the prosecution. In other words if the accused forgets his/her encryption codes when asked for them by the police, they,the police, will have to prove deliberate obstruction on the part of the accused rather than the accused having to prove forgetfulness. Not earth shattering but at least somebody out there may be listening ... ooops, what am I saying?
