I’d be more worried about lack of clarity over how they assess what’s “proportionate” personally ⁦ @Reprieve⁩ “UK set to introduce bill allowing MI5 agents to break the law” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/sep/24/uk-set-to-introduce-bill-allowing-mi5-agents-to-break-the-law

This statement is also highly contradictory. The (rather reasonable) argument that you can’t have a ‘banned crimes list’ because undercover officers will be ‘tested’, is totally undermined by saying we wouldn’t violate ECHR re murder or torture -basically giving a banned list.

So if you can declare you won’t violate what’s prohibited in ECHR - effectively declaring a banned crimes list - you surely also can make that part of UK law too? Wonder what @RoryCormac thinks of this thread...
