* "Warranted interception is used only for intelligence purposes." * "Warranted interception is governed by RIPA."
There is of-course, no mention of unwarranted interception. One must presume that there is no unwarranted interception of communications being actioned.
The problem I think is that ICRs don't fall under the rules for interception. They seem to be a part of communications data:
A kind of communications data, an ICR is a record of the internet services a specific device has connected to, such as a website or instant messaging application.
Communications data doesn't have the same warrant requirements.
