That's a good question, sir. Thank you.
You're absolutely right when you say that nowadays we do have legislation at our disposal that allows us to address the issue of conspiracy. As you probably know, in order to establish a conspiracy, or when we bring it to the courts once we have established a conspiracy or have established intent, we're always looking for the overt act in reference to the conspiracy. We need not bring it to the very end as long as we have an overt act that clearly defines it.
The difficulty in terms of obtaining evidence is always establishing that intent, that conspiracy. That's where the challenge lies.
In the reality of police investigations, all police investigations cannot lead to interception of private communications. That's just an impossible task and an impossible feat. In my opinion, law enforcement should be able to accomplish successful investigations without having to resort in every case to the interception of private communications.
In the absence of intercepts from private communications, or of individuals who are part of the conspiracy and assist law enforcement as what is commonly referred to as source agents, it's very difficult for law enforcement to establish that very fact of intent under present circumstances.
