lmao i love this questions and heres some anwsers for your all :-
1.)Yes there are net police who track people on what,when and how they do things on the net.
Actually in conjuction with america's M>O>D emails have gone through them before it arrives where its suppose to.
they scan it for certain words like "bomb" and thats been happening for around the past 10 years.
2.) Yes this is underminding your humman rights as your do have laws to privicy
3.) an new act came act R.I.P. Act (rights to investagary powers act) which made it ok to brake the humman rights act so if your under suspsion they can read all your emails sent and recvieved etc.
summing up your screwed, you better start encoding them emails or making up your own internet language like the number 1 "133t" :)
Also if your worried about this then you got somthing to hide lol ;)
nevermind mate you only live once !

ive always wanted to know more on the net police because although i feel a certain freedom on the net i am starting to realize the bigger picture ,and feel that its just another way of monotoring our daily lives .
along with banks ,corporare tech companies and info /tele comps just know too much about mr and mrs plain and simple and seek along with governments to pin us to the day to day grind and restrict our movements .
in australia one tel just went down the tube and workers look set to be made redundant while the directors will walk with bonuses up to 9 mill they paid to themselves last year
i hope the b@#$%^ go down !!!!!!!!!!

Hacking != Cracking...
The "Net Police" are not the same as crackers, both are shrouded in lots of myths and 'net lore, but most of it is just scaremongering.
Basically, it is possible to track most of your activities on the web - for example, you spam an e-mail address from a form on the web and it's logged on the server, along with your IP address. The recipient could contact the owner of the server and ask them to retrieve the logs from the time when the mails were recieved. They could then contact the sender's ISP, who have details of who was on that IP at the time.
Whether or not there is a single group tracing all of your activity on the internet is debatable, but collectively, a lot of your movements can be followed. As for actually invading your pc itself, firewalls claim to prevent this - some do a better job than others, but total security is very hard to attain. A new hole in Windows is found every week or so - the most secure o/s I can think of is OpenBSD, which has been secure for about the last 4 years.
I know from testing on my local LAN and with some friends that many firewalls are full of problems, programs like Latinus can still penetrate them and give access to a system.
If it's actual data on your system you're worried about, then the risk isn't too high. Unless it's someone you know personally running the attack, most people have no interest in what's held on your system, except the occasional script kiddie trying to impress people by nmap'ing and exploiting a random host. There's a slighty hgiher chance if you run xDSL/Cable, because your connection is constantly up, providing an easier target, and it also provides a better system to run "zombie" programs from (programs executed remotely running on another system, using their internet connection and so getting traced to that computer).
Personal data..I'd worry more about Microsoft handing this out actually, especially after reading their terms of service for MS Passport. Windows XP looks to take that to another level, sending MicroSoft constant updates of what's on your PC - Software and hardware.
Anyway, hopefully that will clear up some of the myths about hacking (not the same as cracking, hackers don't forcefully gain access to otherwise restricted data, that's crackers). Basically, if you have a very determined cracker, thy'll get what they want somehow. The average pc isn't really under too much threat, but if you're really paranoid, go download OpenBSD and stop using Windows.
