Comments in response to Industry Canada’s consultation on amendments to PIPEDA, Canada’s privacy act, are due today. Included in the consultation is an intent to clarify ‘lawful authority’ in accessing information.
I couldn’t help but smile when I read a story last Thursday about FBI wiretaps south of the border. It seems phone companies have cut off FBI wiretaps because the bureau seems to have trouble paying its bills on time.
Law enforcement agencies can have all the authority in the world, but like everyone else, you gotta pay on time.
