The U.K. Parliament is considering removing the requirement that, among other things, seizure of reporters' notes and other documents of interest to the police which are believed to be in the possession of private individuals will no longer require a hearing in open court and notification of affected parties. This could impact a very wide range of volunteer content creation on topics pertinent to government criticism.

I hope someone in the UK can suggest what to do about this.
