| Message | But how do the police obtain such records? All the person would have to do is say "No" to them and then the trial would collapse as the police would have no evidence to present at the court. I am satisified with the current value. |

| Message | Same here. The right to privacy is extremely important, but sometimes it is necessary to have warrants issued for the retrieval of information pertinent to a criminal matter. |
