| NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has defended police being given powers to access Opal card records as a crucial tool to ensure the "safety and security of the community".
The police chief's defence came as a complaint was lodged with the state's privacy commissioner about law enforcement agencies being able to track hundreds of thousands of commuters without a warrant.
On Tuesday, Fairfax Media reported how law enforcement agencies had been given the power by Transport for NSW to request access to Opal users' travel histories, names and addresses without judicial oversight, which alarmed civil libertarians who said access should only be granted with a warrant.
