04/19/2008: "UK Private Investigator Blog - "Reporters fight back""

Hi,

Recently the UK government has dropped implementation of a clause under the data protection act that would make it illegal for journalists to steal data for their investigations. I guess the press backlash was to much for him, makes you think how powerful is our government really when they can’t stand up to certain industries? Various security and investigation companies, annoyed that they are being sternly licensed and regulated are now calling this recent development as the journalist’s license to steal. I’m sure the lowly newspaper reporter will tell you though, many government and industrial departments refuse to share even the most basic information with them for their stories so sometimes they have no choice if it’s in the public interest. Just think of Enron…

Apart from that business has been good lately here at ukpeoplesearch.co.uk and our service is still top-notch - Most people searches are completed in 10 days! I’m also beginning to realise a lot of people are employing my services from their work computers lol :-) . Every time there’s a school holiday and parents need to take time off, or even a bank holiday my number of clients goes down. I’m thinking a lot of people only have the internet in their office.

Keep the people search enquiries coming in, I’m glad to help as long as it’s for a legal or ethical purpose.

Thanks,
Andy
