The police in the UK think they can be trusted with facial recognition data, including destroying all images not relevant to reported crimes.
And yet, they could not be bothered to correctly document the location of the theft of the PM’s righthand man’s phone. The messages and data held on this phone were a matter of utmost national security.
‘Initially, the Met said officers were “too busy” to speak to McSweeney directly. He was given a crime reference number and the case was closed.’
Which is what happens to anyone who has their phone stolen.
The police no longer seem to consider phone theft a crime they can be bothered to do a thing about.
I would imagine that McSweeney would have tried to explain who he was and the significance of his phone being nicked…or maybe whoever took the call just thought it was a hoax?
But equally, why were the plod the only ones involved?
How integral do you have to be to the inner workings of government for MI5 not to be concerned about this kind of theft and the risks of it falling into the wrong hands?
McSweeney would have been aware of Starmer’s every movement - surely there are certain bad actors that would have been quite keen to get their hands on that kind of info?
Oh…
‘In the call, #McSweeney says the phone is his work device and he has reported it to his office already to attempt to have it tracked. Though he says the phone is a “government phone”, he does not say there could be a higher risk because of his job.’
I knew something didn’t smell right last night.
