Interception of Communications Commissioner

The Interception of Communications Commissioner was a regulatory official in the United Kingdom, appointed under Section 57 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and previously under Section 8 of the Interception of Communications Act 1985.

The Interception of Communications Commissioner ensured that government agencies acted in accordance with their legal responsibilities when intercepting communications. The Commissioner also reviewed the role of the Home Secretary in issuing interception warrants.[1]

The Interception of Communications Commissioner has been replaced by the Investigatory Powers Commissioner by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.

Commissioners

gollark: No, this is also terrible. They only punish you *after* you do things, with no clear guide about what's acceptable and what isn't.
gollark: I mean, sure, but other people will be eternally tortured.
gollark: I don't think they should be supporting entirely avoidable eternal torture.
gollark: If the Islamic god does exist approximately as described, I would want a better one.
