Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of new technologies on the nature, ambit and objectives of communications surveillance, particularly lawful access and interception. A particular focus on the privacy issues arising from new approaches has been examined by taking a close look at the sources of communications privacy rights and indeed expectations and the almost invariably antagonistic position of law enforcement in attempting to retain powers enjoyed under former lawful communications surveillance regimes.
