UK’s operation Karma: A bad karma for British citizens?
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are now turning to an emerging threat when it comes to fight against organized crimes in Britain. Regulation rules are being refined to deal with the potential dangers.
The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) has, meanwhile, warned that drones could be used in the future to deliver weaponry into jails. Regardless of the size or security of a prison, anywhere with open air space is vulnerable.
Items found on board drones that are caught include SIM cards, smart phones and batteries, firearms, military knives but NOMS are particularly concerned with synthetic psychoactive drugs, which might be related to an increase in violent incidents.
Documents recently leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have revealed that Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) mapped “every visible user on the internet,” in an operation code-named Karma Police.
Meanwhile The head of the United Kingdom's domestic spy agency, MI5, calls for more surveillance powers to security service agents to monitor electronic communications and thwart possible terror plots. Andrew Parker says new powers are needed as terrorist plotting against the country is at its highest for nearly four decades.
