Popis: This Chapter describes the legal framework to retain location information. It starts with a discussion of the key legal and technical concepts used to refer to the types of data to be collected and retained, based on technical description of how the telecommunications network operates. The discussion shows that the legal label placed on the information is crucial, because based on the legal name, the legal powers to access and use it are determined. As such, location information is legally classified as telecommunications data and simply because of this legal classification, does not require a judicial warrantto collect, disclose and use.
