A new law that was passed at 9:00am, Monday July 15th, allows the Island’s police force to tap into conversations involving anyone, deemed by their standards to be a crime suspect.

The RCIPS now has the technical and legal capabilities to “give a listen” to any conversation between phone parties, without notification to phone users.

The new move is aimed at improving the investigative capabilities of the police service through access to any information considered relevant to investigation.
