“Proposal: Give the police more sigint”
“the Police and the secret police can get easier access to the data from the Swedish signal intelligence. The police authorities may in the future take part of the information concerning the persons and events which are the subject of ongoing investigations, something that is forbidden.”
“Säpo and the police’s National operations department (Noa) shall in the future be able to determine the direction of the signal intelligence conducted by the Swedish national Defence radio establishment (FRA). The police should also be able to receive notifications which are the subject of ongoing investigations.”
“today, The FRA does not provide data from the signals intelligence that concerns the investigations to the police authorities. The government’s new bill would mean a relaxation of the regulation, but signalspaningen would in the future be limited in relation to the work of the police.”
“According to the proposal, data from signals intelligence only be used as underrättelsematerial and not to investigate crimes. It means, for example, the data may not be used as evidence in a trial or as a basis for request the secret eavesdropping.”
“the monitoring of the implementation of the new law, according to the proposal be undertaken by the security and integritetsskyddsnämnden.”
“the Law is proposed to enter into force already on 1 August of this year.”
