Mr. Colin Larkin:

I am not aware of any other jurisdictions where the DPP or its equivalent has issued guidelines. I am not a lawyer, I am a technologist. I am looking at it purely from a very basic infrastructure as to what is available and what can be done.

The Deputy mentioned tracking twitter messages, but everything is there. The GPS location of every person who tweets messages is physically recorded. So much information about the device, including its serial number, is all recorded by the social network. They know everything about it. That is why I am suggesting that we should really look at the likes of a lawful intercept, or something similar. As a quick fix, we should allow access to that information because they have everything stored. That is a first step in the right direction to allow someone to have recourse to the courts to build a case.
