Nothing to fear
Sir: So long as we are not breaking any law, we have nothing to fear from the police being able to access our mobiles (‘Licence to snoop’, 11 October). They, however, would be committing a crime if they released any information so gleaned to anyone except to the judiciary if we are being accused of a crime.
In these difficult times it is reassuring that the police should have every means at their disposal in pursuing those who would do us harm or commit criminal activity.

In defence of KP
Sir: Peter Oborne is right that some of Kevin Pietersen’s most brilliant innings over the past ten years will stay with cricket lovers for ever (‘An excess of spin’, 11 October), but wrong that his autobiography, KP, won’t. The vivid prose has lifted the lid on what has been said in the dressing room and challenged the adage that what is said there should remain there.
