Bahamas: Government announces Minister's comments on interception of communications bill

The Government announced, on 27 April 2018, that the Minister of National Security, Marvin Dames, had commented on the Interception of Communications Bill 2017 ('the Bill'), which seeks to equip law enforcement agencies with the tools necessary to collect investigative information from online platforms.

Dames highlighted, "Without legislation such as this one, law enforcement agencies will be severely handicapped and disadvantaged in their attempts to detect, collect, analyse, investigate and prosecute associated crimes in a world where technology related platforms have become the preferred means of communications across the globe."
