By通過 Michael Howie邁克爾侯偉 | NEW spy laws are being used by Scottish councils to track people suspected of housing-benefit fraud, selling cigarettes to children and environmental-health offences. |新間諜的法律正在使用的由蘇格蘭議會的跟踪嫌疑人，房屋效益欺詐，售賣香煙的兒童和環境健康的違法行為。 Campaigners are now calling for a “root-and-branch review” into the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa), after the scale of its use by local authorities across the UK was revealed.運動現正呼籲建立一個“根與科審查”納入規管調查權力法案（ ripa ）後，規模及其使用由地方當局英國各地的被揭發。
Ripa was introduced in 2000, primarily giving the police, security services and HM. ripa介紹了在2000年，主要是給警察，安全服務和陛下。
Revenue and Customs wide powers to spy on people and their communications.收入和海關廣泛的權力，以間諜對人民和他們的通信。
The main objectives of the Act were to help in the fight against crime and terrorism.主要目標是該法的人，以幫助在打擊犯罪和恐怖主義。 But in 2002, the powers were controversially extended to councils, offering the opportunity to carry out surveillance.但在2002年，權力爭議擴展到議會，所提供的機會進行監視。
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.一調查現在已透露，議會甚至用該法來追踪狗foulers和亂拋垃圾，與一些地方當局利用權力多100倍，在過去12個月。
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，蘇格蘭地方當局證實，使用ripa在過去的一年，是香港仔，市議會，承認秘密監察的8次調查受惠欺詐，環境健康和貿易標準的問題。
The council did not specify which environmental-health offences were involved, but this can include flytipping, littering and noisy-neighbour disputes.安理會沒有具體說明哪些環境-健康的罪行涉及，不過，這可包括隨處傾卸廢物，亂拋垃圾及噪音-鄰國的糾紛。

Thirteen requests to access phone billing information – another power granted under the Act – were used in the same investigations. 13請訪問手機帳單資料-另一所賦予的權力根據該法-用在相同的調查。
In Perth, the Act was used to investigate whether cigarettes and fireworks were being sold to under-18s.在柏斯，該法被用來調查是否香煙和煙花爆竹被出售給下- 18 。
Earlier this month, it emerged that a family in Poole in Dorset had been covertly tracked for nearly three weeks to check if they lived in a school catchment area.本月初，它出現了一個家庭在普爾在多塞特已暗中跟踪了近三個星期的檢查，如果他們住在一所學校的集水區。
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.調查還顯示，該法是用在至少7起案件了解的人誰，讓他們的狗臭;違反了規劃法;動物福利的情況;的一個實例亂拋垃圾。
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.結果助長了辯論中就監察文化在英國議會，以及是否使用ripa -這被稱為“窺探者約章” -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.隱私國際董事西蒙戴維斯所謂的一個“根與科審查” ripa和質疑巨大的代價，以納稅人的安理會監視。
“There have to be hard limits on the scope of surveillance by local authorities who do not work within the spirit of the Act or indeed the letter,” he said. “有被硬的限制範圍內的監察由地方當局誰不工作的精神，該法的或事實上的信， ”他說。
“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把身體的監察法律依據，但是，這並不使權利或道義上的權利-它只是涵蓋了支持地方當局，但在巨大的犧牲。
“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. “地方當局可以很零用和報復，他們可以成為痴迷的問題一樣，犬隻糞便弄污街道，並有可以是一個缺乏判斷的問題。
“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，以確保他們不要過分方面的監察。 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?在該案件狗隨處便溺，它幾乎是在道義上是合理的，使這些人預訂，但你要問的問題是反應矯枉過正？
“There are better ways to achieve the objectives without using counter-terrorism laws. “有更好的方法來達到這個目標，而不使用反恐怖主義的法律。
“Peer pressure to make such things unacceptable works but takes longer.” “同儕壓力作出這樣的事情是不能接受的工程，但需要較長時間” 。
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.主席先生西蒙米爾頓，主席當地政府協會，呼籲全國辯論，以平衡人們的憂慮，犯罪和反社會行為與他們的隱私權。
“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. “議會是致力於把當地人民第一，並會利用每一個武器庫，在其要趕上流氓商人，家門口的罪犯和詐騙者誰欺騙納稅人和獵物對弱勢群體和老人， ”他說。
