Is this a bit heavy handed?

So it will be put in law that UK internet providers have to keep everyone's data for a year so that if there are any police investigations they can have that data to find suspects or information.

Bit heavy handed don't you think, but then we have similar laws here in Australia. I think they got passed last year or something. In our case the govt. wants to keep all your metadata ie: cellphone calls, emails, text messages, for a period of 2 years.
