- Terrorism Act 2000 .
- Terrorism isn't a good thing. In the attempt to control such acts our own parliament has rather disgracefully passed the Terrorism Act 2000. I refer here only to that part of the Act which deals with attacks on computer systems. ...
- First, by way of a minor digression, let me refer you to a section of the Explanatory Notes which accompany the Act. These notes now accompany almost every Act and are used to explain in words of one or only a few more syllables what the Act is about. ... Sadly my own experience of such documents (going as far back as the Children Act 1989) suggests that they can be misleading. ... Sadly, one comes to suspect that the opportunity is taken sometimes to use the notes to gloss over some of the more controversial aspects of an Act. ...
- In this case, the edited notes say: 'The Act, as suggested in the consultation document, adopts a wider definition covering actions which might not be violent in themselves but which can, in a modern society, have a devastating impact. ...
- Fine you would think - which is what is no doubt intended - but that is very definitely not what the Act says. ...
- - (1) In this Act "terrorism" means the use or threat of action where- .
- The definition of terrorism here says nothing about the computer system at issue being a 'key' system at all. ... If the other sections are satisfied, and if you set out seriously to disrupt its operation (perhaps in the case of the calculator by removing the battery), then the act is a terrorist act. ...
- The Act provides some very extensive additional powers and offences in the support of actions against terrorism. ...
- The Act was passed after a series of temporary provisions going back to the beginnings of the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland. ...
- For those reluctant to believe this, I would refer to a case I was involved with under the Protection from Harrassment Act. This act claimed to be the 'anti-stalker' act. ... I well remember trying to explain that to a police officer who had arrested a client for what can only be described as 'malicious hoovering' The Act which led to his arrest was his choosing to hoover his house at about 6:00am one Saturday morning. ...

" It supersedes and repeals the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 and the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1996. ...
- Up to early 2004 around 500 people are believed to have been arrested under the Act, seven people have been officially charged. ...
- Definition of terrorism .
- Terrorism is defined, in the first section of the Act, as follows: section 1. - (1) In this Act "terrorism" means the use or threat of action where- (a) the action falls within subsection (2), (b) the use or threat is designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and .
- Section 1 goes on to give the Act worldwide scope: .

- web.amnesty.org
- Media briefing -- UK Terrorism Act 2000 Yesterday (19 February) the United Kingdom government brought into force the Terrorism Act 2000. ... As a result, Amnesty International has grave concerns about this Act and will monitor its implementation.
- This different treatment is not based on the seriousness of the criminal act itself but rather on the motivation behind the act, defined in the Act as "political, religious or ideological". ...
- the wide definition of "terrorism" includes not only the use but also the threat of action involving serious violence against a person or serious damage to property or designed to seriously interfere or disrupt an electronic system. ...
- the Act allows for a consultation between lawyer and detainee to be held "in the sight and hearing" of a police officer, if a senior police officer has reasonable grounds to believe that such consultation would lead to interference with the investigation. ...
- the shifting of the burden of proof from the prosecution to the accused who must prove their innocence in various provisions of the Act; such provisions undermine the fundamental right to a presumption of innocence. For example, it is a criminal offence to collect or make a record of or possess information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, including a photographic or electronic record; it is a defence for the accused to prove that he had a reasonable excuse for his action or possession; .
- possible infringement of the right to freedom of expression and of association in some provisions of the Act, e. ... in the new offence of "inciting terrorism overseas" which could be committed by words alone. ...
- Part VII of the Act, which provides for additional emergency powers applicable only in Northern Ireland, undermines the spirit of human rights protection in the Multi-Party Agreement of April 1998, in which the government committed itself "to make progress towards the objective of as early a return as possible to normal security arrangements in Northern Ireland, consistent with the level of threat". ...
- Amnesty International is concerned that provisions in the Terrorism Act contravene UK obligations under international human rights law. Furthermore, many provisions are open to abuse by law enforcement officials, and the Act fails to provide adequate safeguards against such abuse.

- www.publications.parliament.uk
- Anti-terrorism Measures.
- Speaker, I wish to make a statement on the legislative steps necessary to counter the threat from international terrorism. ...
- Although the nature and the level of the threat is different from what was previously envisaged, wholesale revision of our anti-terrorism laws is unnecessary. ... However, we do need specific and targeted measures, which is why I intend to introduce an emergency anti-terrorism Bill. ...
- These provisions will remove barriers which currently prevent the exchange of information in the fight against terrorism. ...
- That is why, both in the emergency terrorism Bill and in a separate extradition measure, I will ensure that we have robust and streamlined procedures. ...
- I believe that it will be possible to achieve these changes without substantial alteration to the Human Rights Act 1998. ...
- On 11 September, families lost their loved ones, and the threat of terrorism touched us all. ...
- Like him, we wish to see changes in our law that will increase the effectiveness of domestic measures against terrorism. ...
- legislation has proved inoperable in practice? Does he agree that the best guard against that danger is detailed scrutiny, which teases out the implications of the legislation to determine both whether it will be effective and whether it poses any undue threat to our fundamental liberties? Can he assure us that those critical measures at this critical time will be debated in detail on the Floor of the House? Is he aware that we will resist using the emergency legislation as a means of addressing problems of law enforcement outside the field of terrorism? .
- In the light of the Chahal case, the Singh and Singh case and other jurisprudence associated with the European convention on human rights and the Human Rights Act, does the Home Secretary accept that such removal of dangerous individuals poses a significant legislative problem? Does he accept that the internment or indefinite detention powers that he signalled in his statement today may not provide a workable means of avoiding that problem? Will he confirm the view taken by his predecessor that Parliament can legislate to alter the effect of the Human Rights Act? .
- Turning to the proposed EU framework directives, does the Home Secretary share our view that there is a fundamental difference between the proposed directive on combating terrorism and the proposed directive on European arrest warrants? We all support the principle of the proposed directive on combating terrorism. That will force other EU counties to adopt legislation parallel to our Terrorism Act 2000. ...

- Dissent Becomes Terrorism.
- The emergency "anti-terrorist" legislation proposed not only gives unprecedented powers of surveillance but is intended to allow information gathered to be used against any crime, not just terrorism. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act makes it possible for law enforcement officers to access ‘traffic data’ (any phone, email, fax or web stuff) without a court order for ‘the purposes of detecting crime and disorder, protecting public health and safety, and for collecting tax, as well as for cases of national security’. ... Roy Jenkins was the Home Secretary who brought in the Prevention of Terrorism Act in the 70s. ... Then Jack Straw, in the great tradition of politicians going McCarthyite upon becoming Home Secretary, brought in the Terrorism Act 2000. ... Passing into law in the UK with barely a murmur of discontent, this Act reversed the presumption of innocence. ... But the definition of terrorism is so wide ranging that it perfectly describes groups such as Greenpeace, Earth First! and CND. ... All this can now be charged as terrorism under TA2000.

- Malicious Communications Act 1988.
- This Act criminalises the sending of letters and electronic communications etc conveying indecent or grossly offensive messages, threats, false information and grossly offensive articles.

- Data Protection Act 1998.
- This is the Act that establishes the current data protection regime in the UK. Note the long title - "An Act to make new provision for the regulation of the processing of information relating to individuals, including the obtaining, holding, use or disclosure of such information. " The Act achieved Royal Assent on 16th July 1998 and it mirrors closely the EU "framework" directive on data protection, 95/46, but it is not an exact replica. ...
