They don't need to worry about who I do or don't send email to. I resent their arrogance in thinking they do, and I resent the government demanding that I pay for my own shackles.
It is putting every British citizen in jeopardy of a miscarriage of justice.

It's no different to the phone company keeping records of who you make calls to, and those records being available to the police with a court order. This has always been done, and most people would accept that this does not constitute "treating you like a criminal".
As the internet replaces the telephone for many everyday communications, it seems emminently reasonable to me that e-mails should be "logged" in the same way that telephone calls are - and always have been.
