Dutch Ministry Proposes Powers for Police to Hack into Computers,
Install Spyware, Destroy Data

http://j.mp/RaWxJa  (Parity News)

   "The Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security has proposed some rather
    over the line measures and wants to extend such powers to the police
    that would allow them to break into computers and mobile phones in any
    part of the world.  According to the proposal [PDF] (in Dutch), dated
    October 15, the ministry has asked for powers that would allow police
    to not only break into computers but, would also allow them to install
    spyware, search for data in those computers and destroy data."
