The main objectives of the Act were to help in the fight against crime and terrorism.主要目标是该法的人，以帮助在打击犯罪和恐怖主义。 But in 2002, the powers were controversially extended to councils, offering the opportunity to carry out surveillance.但在2002年，权力争议扩展到议会，所提供的机会进行监视。
An investigation has now revealed that councils have even used the Act to track dog-foulers and litterbugs, with some local authorities using the powers more than 100 times in the last 12 months.一调查现在已透露，议会甚至用该法来追踪狗foulers和乱抛垃圾，与一些地方当局利用权力多100倍，在过去12个月。
Among the Scottish local authorities that confirmed using Ripa in the past year was Aberdeen City Council, which admitted covert surveillance on eight occasions to investigate benefit fraud, environmental-health and trading-standards issues.其中，苏格兰地方当局证实，使用ripa在过去的一年，是香港仔，市议会，承认秘密监察的8次调查受惠欺诈，环境健康和贸易标准的问题。

The investigation has also revealed that the law was used in at least seven cases to find out about people who let their dogs foul; a breach of planning law; an animal-welfare case; and an instance of littering.调查还显示，该法是用在至少7起案件了解的人谁，让他们的狗臭;违反了规划法;动物福利的情况;的一个实例乱抛垃圾。
The findings have fuelled the debate on the surveillance culture in Britain and whether councils are using Ripa – which has been dubbed “a snoopers’ charter” – proportionately.结果助长了辩论中就监察文化在英国议会，以及是否使用ripa -这被称为“窥探者约章” -比例。
Privacy International director Simon Davies called for a “root- and-branch review” of Ripa and questioned the huge cost to the taxpayer of the council surveillance.隐私国际董事西蒙戴维斯所谓的一个“根与科审查” ripa和质疑巨大的代价，以纳税人的安理会监视。

“Ripa put physical surveillance on a legal basis but that doesn’t make it right or morally right – it just covers the backs of local authorities but at huge expense. “ ripa把身体的监察法律依据，但是，这并不使权利或道义上的权利-它只是涵盖了支持地方当局，但在巨大的牺牲。
“Local authorities can be very petty and vindictive and they can become obsessed with issues like dog fouling and there can be a lack of judgment. “地方当局可以很零用和报复，他们可以成为痴迷的问题一样，犬只粪便弄污街道，并有可以是一个缺乏判断的问题。
“There need to be measures in place to make sure they do not go overboard in regard to surveillance. “有需要加以措施不到位，以确保他们不要过分方面的监察。 In the case of dog-fouling, it’s almost morally justifiable to bring these people to book but you have to ask the question is the response an overkill?在该案件狗随处便溺，它几乎是在道义上是合理的，使这些人预订，但你要问的问题是反应矫枉过正？
“There are better ways to achieve the objectives without using counter-terrorism laws. “有更好的方法来达到这个目标，而不使用反恐怖主义的法律。
“Peer pressure to make such things unacceptable works but takes longer.” “同侪压力作出这样的事情是不能接受的工程，但需要较长时间” 。
Sir Simon Milton, chairman of the Local Government Association, called for a national debate to balance people’s worries about crime and antisocial behaviour with their privacy.主席先生西蒙米尔顿，主席当地政府协会，呼吁全国辩论，以平衡人们的忧虑，犯罪和反社会行为与他们的隐私权。
“Councils are committed to putting local people first and will use every weapon in their arsenal to catch the rogue traders, doorstep criminals and scam artists who cheat the taxpayer and prey on the vulnerable and the elderly,” he said. “议会是致力于把当地人民第一，并会利用每一个武器库，在其要赶上流氓商人，家门口的罪犯和诈骗者谁欺骗纳税人和猎物对弱势群体和老人， ”他说。
