Mixed views on cops' email power New email, voicemail and SMS monitoring powers for Federal police and security agencies have caused a mixed reaction among civil liberties groups. The Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Bill 2004, tabled last week, includes text-based communications and stored voice messages in the definition of voice communications.
