Changes proposed to intelligence collection methods to strengthen national security
The proposal would enable the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service to use intelligence collection methods in a strictly limited manner in premises used for permanent residence. Intelligence collection could be targeted at obtaining important information on activities subject to civilian intelligence that seriously threaten national security. The targets of civilian intelligence are defined in legislation. The Finnish Security and Intelligence Service focuses on the most serious threats to national security. Intelligence collection methods can be used for gathering intelligence on, for example, terrorism and foreign intelligence activities. The proposal is part of the development of intelligence legislation outlined in the Government Programme. The amendments would apply to chapter 5a of the Police Act, which covers civilian intelligence. A government proposal concerning the constitutional protection of privacy is currently before Parliament. The proposed act would enter into force as soon as possible after Parliament has passed the bill to amend the Constitution. Limited and controlled use of intelligence collection methods Current legislation prohibits the use of intelligence
