The Investigatory Powers Tribunal found that the PSNI unlawfully targeted journalists Barry McCaffrey and Trevor Birney, revealing misconduct in police surveillance practices.
Conservative MP David Davis criticized the PSNI's actions, stating they fostered a culture of intimidation towards journalists and displayed contempt for legal safeguards.
The PSNI admitted surveillance of over 500 lawyers and 300 journalists, including BBC staff, prompting calls for a public inquiry into these practices.
Campaigners assert that an independent review by McCullough is inadequate, urging government action to thoroughly investigate police surveillance abuses.
