Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA)

RIPA provides for -- and regulates the use of -- a range of investigative powers, by a variety of public authorities. In particular, it takes account of technological change, such as the growth of the Internet, with powers that pertain to the interception of communications, the use of covert surveillance and the investigation of electronic data protected by encryption, while also providing for independent judicial oversight of its powers.
