In Thailand, a new version of the Criminal Procedure Code that allows police to intercept communication under certain conditions was approved by the Cabinet today.<br/><br/>The move aims to give police the authority to wiretap communication by amending a 1934 Criminal Procedure Code and is the latest security measure rolled out by the military government which took power following a 2014 coup.<br/><br/>A military government spokesman said, police seeking to intercept calls will have to ask court permission and that the public need not be concerned over privacy.
