Police have powers to hack into your computer

From yesterday's Independent: New powers for police to hack your PC:
"Police have been given the power to hack into personal computers without a court warrant. The Home Office is facing anger and the threat of a legal challenge after granting permission. Ministers are also drawing up plans to allow police across the EU to collect information from computers in Britain."

[Edit] It was also in the Times on Monday.

All very disturbing!
