GRENADA-POLITICS-Government cracks down on illegal wiretapping

Aug 06, 2013

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell has told legislators that equipment capable of intercepting communications had been purchased by the previous government.

“We found one piece that has the ability to monitor a person home from as far a half a mile away. All they needed to do was zoom into the house and listen to whatever was being discussed,” Mitchell told legislators, as Parliament debated the 2013 Interception Communications Bill.

Grenada has no legislation outlining penalties for any person illegally intercepting communications. The new bill provides for law enforcement officials to apply to a Court for an order before intercepting anyone’s communication.
