Britain's freedoms under threat from 'Big Brother security state', warns Director of Public Prosecutions | Mail Online
The chief prosecutor has warned the surveillance society is threatening to 'break the back of freedom'.
Sir Ken Macdonald, Director of Public Prosecutions, said the state was poised to take powers to keep information on everyone and 'we might end up living with something we can't bear.'
His message - delivered ten days before he steps down as head of the Crown Prosecution Service - was a parting shot at ministers who aim to make every phone call, email, test message and internet visit available to police and security services.
Sir Ken said: 'We need to take very great care not to fall into a way of life in which freedom's back is broken by the relentless pressure of a security state.'
