"Remote searches of suspect computers will form part of an EU plan to tackle hi-tech crime.
The five-year action plan will take steps to combat the growth in cyber theft and the machines used to spread spam and other malicious programs.
It will also encourage better sharing of data among European police forces to track down and prosecute criminals.
Europol will co-ordinate the investigative work and also issue alerts about cyber crime sprees.
...
The ministerial meeting also backed the anti-cyber crime strategy that will see the creation of cross-border investigation teams and sanction the use of virtual patrols to police some areas of the net.
...
Forces will also take part in "remote searches" and patrol online to track down criminals. The EU said controls were in place to ensure that data protection laws were not breached as this information was gathered and shared.
"The strategy encourages the much needed operational cooperation and information exchange between the Member States," said EC vice-president Jacques Barrot in a statement.
"If the strategy is to make the fight against cyber crime more efficient, all stakeholders have to be fully committed to its implementation," he added."
Don't be fooled this is being sold as a means of fighting terrorism, paedophilia etc. but will be used to fight the real "crime" in the eyes of the EU - disagreeing with and campaigning against the EU or any part of the EU. We are being lead into a totalitarian hell by the UK government and the EU and I don't think we can get our freedoms back.
