The Ministry of Justice is changing the law.
The police can no longer freely read people's emails.
Currently, the police can access all data. This is bad.
Liisa Pakosta is the Minister of Justice. She says this needs to change.
Phones and computers are personal. The police can only access them with a court order.
Other countries have already changed their laws. Estonia is now doing the same.
The police can only obtain data from Estonian servers. Many companies use foreign servers.
The goal is to protect people. The police must verify whether data usage is necessary.
Currently, the law is outdated. The police have obtained data too easily.
The Ministry of Justice wants to hear opinions. The new law may come in the fall.
