Regulatory Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA)

Regulatory Investigatory Powers Act

The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act protects the Human Rights of suspects and others when it is necessary and proportionate to carry out a covert investigation.

It also protects investigators and the authority from inadvertently breaching Human Rights, by ensuring the evidence we gather is lawfully obtained and admissible in court.
