They were busting illegal weapons sales.
No, she said they were intercepting forearms. She would no after all. There the best intel analyst the Chesire Police had to offer I’m sure.
I no [sic] a lady who works for the police. This is not hearsay. Direct to me. They can access Encro software. And are using to intercept forearms [sic] only at the moment. There [sic] software runs 48 hours behind real time. So have ur burns one day max. And try to avoid giving postcodes over it.
Don’t people read the article anymore?
Damn forearms.
Impeding the right to bare arms. Shameful.
I must confess I started to google “Forearms UK” thinking it’s some foreign expression I never heard… At which point I was reminded how close ‘I’ and ‘O’ are.
Damn forearms indeed.
“Check out these guns”
Flexes
sirens in the distance
Bear forearms only. Doesn’t apply to any other animal
Oh we are.
They get so smug about it on Twitter as well it’s infuriating. Look we’ve taken a dangerous amount of weed off the streets nearly 4 grams.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A British court has sentenced a “corrupt” police analyst to almost four years behind bars for tipping off a friend that officers had compromised the EncroChat encrypted messaging app network.
According to the cops, their secret infiltration of the supposedly impregnable chat app, allowing officers to silently read crooks’ private messages and probe criminal dealings, has led to action against many of its more than 60,000 users.
“Operation Venetic is a once in a generation investigation which has made a huge contribution to public protection,” said John McKeon, head of the NCA’s anti-corruption unit, in a statement.
Once they’d busted into the network’s servers, cops used that access to collect conversations and other data from EncroChat handsets and use this information to make arrests, with the NCA doing the legwork in the UK.
The operation also led to lawsuits arguing the dragnet surveillance of the chat network violated European and UK laws, and that evidence wasn’t obtained legally.
According to the NCA, Mottram told Jonathan Kay, 39, the police were monitoring people’s encrypted EncroChat conversations, and tipped him off that the cops had intel on him presumably from his use of the app.
