of 2004 and 2005, was put forward as a vital tool in the fight against terrorism. 2004年和2005年，提出了作为一个重要的工具，在打击恐怖主义的斗争。 However, civil liberties campaigners say the new powers amount to a ‘free for all’ for the State snooping on its citizens.不过，民权活动人士说，这项新的权力构成一种'免费向所有市民' ，为国探听其公民。
And they angrily questioned why the records were being made available to so many organisations.他们气愤地质疑，为何纪录被提供给这么多机构。 Similar provisions are being brought in across Europe, but under much tighter regulation.类似的规定也被带到欧洲各地，但在更严格的监管。 In Britain, say critics, private and sensitive information will inevitably fall into the wrong hands.在英国，批评者说，私人和敏感信息难免会落入坏人之手。

The files will even reveal where people are when they made mobile phone calls.档案，甚至会揭示人的时候，他们取得了移动电话。 By knowing which mast transmitted the signal, officials will be able to pinpoint the source of a call to within a few feet.知道了，其中肥大传送信号，官员将能够找准源头，呼吁在一个几英尺。 This can even be used to track someone’s route if, for example, they make a call from a moving car.这甚至可以被用来追踪某人的路线举例说，假如他们要拨打电话，从移动车。

The commissioner, Sir Paul Kennedy, reports to the Prime Minister and already carries out random inspections of some agencies legally allowed to see phone records under the existing voluntary scheme.廉政专员，主席先生保罗肯尼迪，报告给总理，并已经进行抽样检查，一些机构，法律允许看电话记录，根据现行的自愿性质的计划。 Last year inspectors visited 22 councils already making ’significant’ use of their powers’ to access phone records.去年巡查了22个议会已经作出'重大'利用手中的权力' ，以获取电话记录。 A report said the results were ‘variable’, but within the law.报告说，这一结果是'变' ，但在法律之上。
