Lorenzo Franceschi-BicchieraiThe Ontario Police got a court authorization to use spyware (they call it “on‑device investigative tool” or ODIT) to investigate a car theft ring.
We need more of these cases to be public. Keeping the use of spyware secret is not doing authorities any favors. This is taxpayer's money at work, and being so invasive, there needs to be checks and balances, and a public discussion.
If we only see the abuses, which there have been many, we can't have a serious and fair debate about the use of spyware.
