[governance] FW: TP: city government exercising policy on Google Applications / consumer rights / Consumer Protection Act / trial period

[Kerry Brown]

I'm not a lawyer and struggle with some of the terms in the linked document. Do the governments have free access to the retained data or is there some kind of court oversight in how the data is accessed? As long as there is court oversight involved I am not against law enforcement agencies getting access to this kind of data. The proposed Canadian legislation does not provide for any court oversight. Any law enforcement agency can request to access the data without giving a reason why or justifying the request in any way. Law enforcement agencies will be free to use this data for fishing expeditions.
