"Got CSAM? What if I find?"

Just came across Crime and Policing Bill which is on its way into the law.
Upends my established personal security model as professional software engineer.
Now your digital indentity and confidentiality can be compromised just if a border police senior officer says so.

> "Got CSAM? What if I find?"

This is a paraphrase of a line of typical gopnik (street mobster) preying on passers-by - "got money/seeds? what if I find?"

Coming from software engineering, I can't stand this legislative practice of lumping tons of disparate things in one body and pushing them through legislature as one. Specifically #UK
#CrimeAndPolicingBill *is* a series of 190+ *PATCHES* to many laws, wrapped into a single text document with chapters and paragraphs. Look at #LKML and tell me more about your problems, making you lump together adding powers to breach anyone's data integrity, and updating rules on HAVING SEX WITH A CORPSE.
I haven't read it through yet, so I wonder if the powers to breach anyone's personal data integrity also come with gag order power, so that you can't tell anyone your devices and accounts have been compromised.

Corporate #CISO and #infosec people in general are going to be excited for sure about them and their colleagues making trips across the UK border.

Because officials are good at infosec and are accountable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_Response_Route#Background_and_breach
