OK - but that's an issue with whether the police have excessive
powers, not specifically an issue with Oyster.

Oyster is the "enabler" -- without its logging, John Bull can
threaten & demand until the cows come home, and the turnstile
will never talk.

It's far sounder to engineer in the security, than legislate it.

Re-legislation takes only a few minutes, and without much notice,
as just happened here [The Feebees no longer need a warrant to get
your financial records, just a demand.]; re-engineering the system
later to add snooping is far more visible.
