'Hate' e-mails to be outlawed (BBC)
Police are being promised tough new powers People who send "hate"
e-mails or "hate" text messages could face prison, under government
plans.
Home Secretary Jack Straw has drawn up proposals to update the law to
make it an imprisonable offence to send hate mail by traditional or
electronic means.
The measure is part of a package of legal changes designed to protect
scientists from animal rights extremists.
Mr Straw is also planning to give police greater powers to stop
protestors from gathering outside people's homes.
