This amounts to guilty until proven innocent. The police already have the pays of recovery of data via court warrant but they need to prove reasonable cause to obtain it. Investigatory powers without reasonable cause is a long jump into the police state, and is totally unnecessary.

I don't really understand what could have changed after they can reach our browsing habits.
Imagine you are the guy sitting front of screen looking at where people click. It would be boring.

The sad thing is things like this will continue to escalate over the premise of 'protection'. At this point in time, until a younger generation inevitably inherit power that knows these privacy invasions do no good, old men who believe the internet is the root of all evil will continue to try and pull moves like this to watch the public.
Also, anyone considering this to be a good thing to 'stop acts of terrorism', take a look at this article as to how much it helps out.

Explaining the powers police want, he said: “We essentially need the ‘who, where, when and what’ of any communication – who initiated it, where were they and when did it happened. And a little bit of the ‘what’, were they on Facebook, or a banking site, or an illegal child-abuse image-sharing website?
So they essentially want to have information on each and every communication you might or might not be involved in. Why not just fit CCTV cameras with voice recording capabilities in each person's house and get us all to wear gps position monitoring bracelets. While at it close down all internet service providers and setup one central government controlled service provider through whom everybody will connect so that all online interactions can be recorded as well. That should solve the problem.
Who needs any privacy, I mean this intrusion of privacy is for our own benefit is it not, it's there to protect us.....

This must be very dangerous movement for people. But I feel like noone really cares at all.
In past you would not even want them know your phone number, but today they know nearly all your info by your set up facebook account.

Next step will be to make it illegal to use a proxy? Or are they going to go straight to the tracking collars fitted with cctv?

Edward Snowden says it best:
"Traditional, effective surveillance means targeting suspects. Not a population. Not a technology. Not a service. The suspect."

"Police have lobbied the government for the power to view the internet browsing history of every computer user in Britain ahead of the publication of legislation on regulating surveillance powers.
Senior officers want to revive the measures similar to those contained in the“snooper’s charter”, which would force telecommunications companies to retain for 12 months data that would disclose websites visited by customers, reported the Times."
