According to the NCA, Mottram told Jonathan Kay, 39, the police were monitoring people’s encrypted EncroChat conversations, and tipped him off that the cops had intel on him presumably from his use of the app.
She basically tipped off crooks who were selling weapons illegally according to the article.
While I think that cops shouldn’t have a backdoor to an encrypted messaging system or access to any messages without a warrant, this woman is also a big piece of shit who deserves to be in jail.
I just read the article and I missed that somehow. I thought she tipped off her mate who was selling weed and said that they were focussing on arms deals for now but be careful.
She tipped off a guy who was selling weed, and that guy tipped off a guy who might be selling arms? Or is being reassured that the police are only focused on firearms currently. The wording was kind of weird in their text message.
I agree, I’m not really sure myself. I took it as reassuring him that they were focussing on arms but you could be right that he was tipping off his arms-dealing mate.
