Eugh. What a horrible piece of legislation. What *should* happen is
that it should be repealed now that mobile phone theft is far less
than it was when it was drafted, and known abuses of surveillance
are far higher. I have precisely zero faith in anything like that
happening, particularly in the UK.

Although, reading section 1(3)(b) of the first legislation, it looks
like it's legal if the manufacturer permits it in writing. So someone
at OM should say "yeah, sure, whatever", which would make us a
little safer ;)
