 The Justice Subcommittee on Policing is calling for the roll-out of the so-called cyber chaos to be stopped. These chaos are devices which allow the police to interrogate mobile phones and other pieces of accountant overcoming passwords. The committee was concerned that this trial had taken place without the legal framework being established and without the necessary impact assessments being undertaken either. Unfortunately this approach by Police Scotland has meant that almost half a million pounds worth of equipment is lying, gathering dust. The subcommittees received assurance from the Chief Constable that these devices will not be deployed unless they are a very solid legal framework and the subcommittee looked forward to hearing from Police Scotland, the Police Authority and the Scottish Government about their response to our very detailed report.
