Police hiding phone hacking tools raises concerns about transparency and legal rights

Police agencies worldwide have been using phone hacking technology provided by Celebrate, which has requested that users keep its use secret. Legal experts argue that transparency is important for proper legal authorization and protection of defendants' rights. The use of this technology could potentially compromise public rights and the rights of defendants, as it is not subject to scrutiny. Disclosing the use of such technology could help criminals and make law enforcement efforts more challenging.
