Seizure of reporter's laptop under terrorism laws was 'not contested' by BBC | 31 Oct 2015 | A court order allowing the seizure of a laptop belonging to a Newsnight journalist was not contested by the BBC, police have said. It had emerged earlier that officers used special counter-terrorism powers to seize a computer belonging to Secunder Kermani. The BBC had not said which police force was involved, but it has been revealed that Thames Valley police had taken the laptop. Police have broad powers under section 32 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which deems any police inquiry into the “commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism” to be termed a “terrorism investigation”.
